I call BS. If this were a reality stuff like Django’s admin panel or Wordpress or google forms or a million other things would have already done this type of dev in. It hasn’t. You know why? Because there’s always some weird requirement or an update to existing code that requires a high degree of context in the business. Stuff that AI sucks at. There’s also the fact that most stakeholders totally suck at describing what they want. This applies to humans much less a god damn machine.
- markus_zhang 2y agoI think that's where the human part comes in. Instead of writing a bunch of boilerplate code and other lower value stuffs, you ask AI to generate and then modify accordingly. My job definitely can be largely replaced by AI, if a human reviews the code. I'm sure in my domain(data engineering) many positions are not safe. I need to drill deeper into a tech skill other than just doing ETL. I'm thinking about system programming.
- localghost3000 2y agoI mean look: investing in your skills is ALWAYS a good idea. AI or not tech becomes obsolete so you need to remain relevant. So yes. Do that. High ROI that. AI is useful for getting started in some cases where you can clearly describe going in what you want. Therein lies the rub: no one knows what they want with total fidelity starting out. If we could, then we’d probably be able to give an accurate time estimate. It’s rarely that simple however. There’s always some complexity that hasn’t been accounted for. Something that an AI, lacking any kind of real understanding will be able to help with much less automatically fix.
