And I don't understand why people lump all AI together as if a coding assistant is the same thing as AI generated spam and other garbage. I'm pretty sure no-one here is excited about that.
I'm excited about the former since AI has massively improved my productivity as a programmer to a point where I can't imagine going back. Everything is not black or white and people can be excited about one part of something and hate another at the same time.

- sensanaty 2y agoSeeing some of the code my colleagues are shitting out with the help of coding "assistants", I would definitely categorize their contributions as spam, and has had nothing but an awful effect on my own time and energy, having to sift through the unfiltered crap. The problem being, of course, that the idiotic C-suite in their infinite wisdom decided to push "use AI assistants" as a KPI, so people are even encouraged to spam PRs with terrible code. If this is what productivity looks like then I'm proud to be unproductive.
