For code that cannot be true or it somehow amplifies the fact that most programmers were/are terrible anyway and now they can be 10-50x as terrible?

- josefritzishere 6mo agoAmple sources confirm this to be the case. Basically the code quality is so poor the debugging and rework offset all gains into the negative. It's possible that improvements will eventually get those to net positive, but it's not even at net zero yet. https://hbr.org/2025/09/ai-generated-workslop-is-destroying-productivity https://hbr.org/2025/09/ai-generated-workslop-is-destroying-...
- demorro 6mo agoMost software engineers are terrible, probably more than half are net negative in the grand scheme. I would argue this extends to most white collar positions. It's not simple to solve.
