- i_love_retros 7mo agoIt's fucking insane that we all have to pay rent every month to an AI company just to keep doing our jobs.

- nice_byte 7mo agoyou literally don't have to. you can literally just keep doing your job the way that you always have.
- i_love_retros 7mo agoI probably won't have a job for much longer if I do that, unfortunately
- nice_byte 7mo agoI don't think that is true.
- i_love_retros 7mo agoTo be clear I think AI coding agents are massively over hyped and turn code bases into unmaintainable buggy messes... I hate them. But "leadership" everywhere has AI psychosis and at my company I expect I'd eventually be let go if I refused to use it.
- sidrag22 7mo agothere is certainly a future where this isn't the case. Learning how to use AI and use it in your workflows will likely for sure be a part of any serious dev's future, but being beholden to a data center does not seem to reflect reality. Consider all the 5m-8m models and how powerful they are today compared to what the best models did 2 years ago. If you want to stay absolute bleeding edge model wise, sure you'll be stuck at a data center for some time... Why isn't this just kinda seen as a repeat of the original birth of computers? Consider the IBM 350 (3.5mb) rented in the 50s for thousands per month. Now I have a drawer filled with SD cards that go up to 128gb that i cant even give away.
- nickphx 7mo agohahaha fuck that. speak for yourself man.
