There's always been absurdity though, right?
These are some I can think of or have witnessed since starting my dev career in 2010:
- 4GL business languages making developers redundant
- Big data
- Cloud computing
- DevOps
- LLMs
For those about to quit, I salute you.
- ethanwillis 3mo agoDefinitely has always been some absurdity and I think there always will be. I think it only varies in the degree!
- jghn 3mo agoI started my career in the mid-90s and 4GLs making all of us obsolete was already a thing by then!
- schnevets 3mo agoI think the fad that most closely aligned with current AI absurdity was mid-2000s outsourcing.
- QuiEgo 3mo agoI feel like it was the dot com boom. :s/"Make everything online"/"Make everything use AI"/g In a similar story, AI makes sense for some stuff but not other stuff. The stuff where it does not make sense for is gonna do bad when the bubble pops.
- AnimalMuppet 3mo agoHeh. Back in the 1970s, AD/Cycle was The Big New Thing that was going to make everything else obsolete. Fortunately, that was just a bit before I started, so I never had to worry about it, because it never did much of anything.
