So what you're saying is that now the worst devs can produce code faster and their velocity is no longer limited by their incompetence.
Why is this supposed to be a good thing?
- Esophagus4 7mo agoCome on man, that’s not what GP is saying.
- phyzome 7mo agoHow is it not? It reads to me as them saying that all these devs have deskilled from "barely competent" to "completely helpless". Or is your claim that they were actually really good devs, and the deskilling has been even more intense than I'm picturing? Because that also sounds real bad!
- pizzafeelsright 7mo agoMy personal experience is we're seeing a magnification of results. The slog is reading hundreds of files, updating some active code to remove some old function from 100k lines of code. Last week the modification, while trivial, would have took weeks and AI agents were able to correct the code with 100% verified accuracy in 20 minutes.
- eddd-ddde 7mo agoMeh not really. I _could_ do my job without AI, but it would take twice the time and I would feel miserable having to type out every single character like a caveman. Just AI auto complete alone is a massive life changer. It reduces my typing at least in half, and is highly accurate to what I want to write.
