That hot take probably needs a further qualifying statement.
- 0x000xca0xfe 1y agoI recommend "A Short History of Nearly Everything" by Bill Bryson. Small artisanal shops before the industrial revolution produced some of the absolutely, truly worst products (poisonous food for example) imaginable (fantastic things, too, of course). We like to hate on bland industrial mass-produced stuff nowadays but it wasn't all great before. Before I accept that AI is the next industrial revolution I'd like to see actual, superior, production ready software churned out at a quality the average human developer cannot match. Not just toy products or pelikans on bicycles. Wake me up when AI can one-shot something equivalent to Wordpress in quality and scope. Otherwise it's just another tool in the toolbelt for developers. Update: Sorry not really sure if I'm mixing up the book with another one. Was a long time ago...
- spacemadness 1y agoTo be clear, I wasn't questioning your statement on AI, but on artisans. One could easily argue that some modern day goods are built to break vs. an artisan that might build something of quality that stands the test of time. Furniture is a good example.
