Nobody does any real work anymore. What's even the point of still having a job?
>>62712811chatbots still need somebody to sanity check their output every hour or so
This is a fictional post, any software engineer worth its salt who has worked with AI knows you can't just ship AI code you haven't read, shit just don't work, or doesn't do what is askedAI can be a very powerful tool, don't get me wrong, but anyone who just lets claude do the coding and ships the code without checking it is going to get his company in big trouble. And i'm not talking about "shit will hit the fan in 6 months" i'm talking client calling the company after 2 days because nothing works anymore
>>62712842wrong. if you have a sensible test suite that you can understand then you can treat the code like a black box. thousands of teams across fortune 500 companies are shipping vibe coded slop as we speak, with no negative consequence
this guy obviously thinks he's smarter than his coworkers, he should go and start his own company
>>62712842Tell me how you never used claude, it can absolutely produce shippable code, highly depends on the application though
>>62712811Nice Glorified-Autocomplete-generated post.
>>62712811>What's even the point of still having a job?Keeps me out of the bars and off the streets for 8 hours a day at least.
>>62712811Managers hate developers really really bad> These fuckers don't worship us like gods, dress like slobs, are not cool and on top of that we need to pay them a lot otherwise our money machine stops workingSee, developers, the good ones, the one that are unfirable and make things actually work, are 99% white anti authoritarian libertarian leaning to outright nazis depending on their power level.And management really, really hates them.So they are constantly out trying to find a way to get rid of them.Then a new technology/paradigm enters. Might be Cobol, IDEs, outsourcing to India, AI, whatever. Doesn't matter.The holy grail is offered to C level suites. They can finally get rid of those pesky fuckers and make everything a nice replaceable number on a chart, no need to rely on people anymore especially *those* people, oh did I mention how much they hate us?So they go all in on that. Problem, it never works. Not immediately though. At first it appears to work, and C suites are retarded and incapable of self reflection, so they never look deeper than skin level. And damage piles up, and piles up, and at some point oh fuck everything is on fire we're fucked. At that point, the trend inverts, and slowly things go back to normal - until the next cycle. Not sure if this is one of those cycles. It honestly feels different this time around. As it is today, Astra/Fable produce code at indian level - it works, for a while. This might change, not sure. In any case, C suites are already all in on this shit.
>>62712911found the indian/midwit
>>62712871we got another right here
>>62712970Nice reddit post faggot
>>62712811Idiocracy is becoming real.
>>62712970Good observationsIts not just developers, but almost every highly competent technical role I've ever met fits that 'anti authoritarian etc' archetype.And yes, every single individual on top of the management hierarchy can't fucking stand those types, mostly because I think they feel like their job security is threatened by those more competent (which is extra ironic because the skilled worker wants *less* power and authority 99% of the time, but got to where they are by just solving things).>t. borderline misanthropic problem solver at industry
>>62713035kill yourself
>>62712949This anon gets it
>>62712811Still unemployed igShould start removing all the welfare around
>>62713184Ok lets steal equipement from small business see who get the last laugh. Fuck your cameras
>>62712811My critical and problem solving skills have deteriorated over time. Issues that usually found interesting are so boring and trivial to solve using coding agents that I am actually being recalled by my consulting company due to low performance (I refuse to pump out slop and that showed on their metrics).There has never been a worst time to be an engineer in corporate.
>>62712970this is nothing more than edgy cope and management hate you because you're autistic and won't deliver anything useful. instead of jeet sweatshops that were proven useless from the start, you should be comparing LLMs to the adoption of high-level programming languages. after all, engineering is the discipline of getting shit done, and that is apparently lost on you
>>62712871>no negative consequenceThe big apps fucking SUCK. everything has stupid ass hick ups and unwanted/unneeded features that also have hick ups. It's ASS
>>62713305> you should be comparing LLMs to the adoption of high-level programming languageslearn to read faggot midwit, that's what I saidI heard the stories about cobol, fortran, the compiler warsI saw vb6, java, rails, node, reactI have gone through not one but two cycles of jeetificationSame shitYou can't replace us. Not right now at least.Retarded organization produce retarded software.AI doesn't change that.
>>62713193If you have a good stash (you should), the only move that makes sense right now is check out and do your thing for a whileIf you don't, you'll rapidly start hating your job with a passion and your skills will athrophize as a consequence.Do your thing, build something, make a game, whatever. AI can actually help in the right hands, it does the shit you are not good at.If you have savings, check the fuck out now. You're gonna be fired anyway.
>>62712970I'd fire your stinky ass too.
>>62713390Good luck at your first outage> hi claude things are no good can you make them good? It says 503 service unavailable does that help? Make no mistakes
>>62713401I would keep obedient white fresh men around who aren't half bad. They will find a way.
Reddit poster doesn't want to admit to himself that his job is training the AI to take his job much sooner than he thinks. Same with the senior engineers, fuck these CEOs really are milking this AI thing to death aren't they?! Infinite profits just for th execs, maximum misery on the (soon to be former) workforce. Absolute psychopath behavior.
>>62713417If they're actually good, you'd hate those too.If they're kind of ok, they're probably søyfaggots that can't code their way out of a wet paper bag, and sure enough can't troubleshoot a multilayered system at 3am while shit is burning and customers are callingBut you do that. Go ahead. Test your luck. It's not gonna be expensive right? Just a week or two if downtime. Those fresh men will find a way. Eventually.I'll be chilling on a beach somewhere in the meantime.
>>62713425C suites despise everybody that's not a psychopath like them, in a way that's hard for a non psychos to really grasp.They hate normies, but they hate schizoid turboautist devs especially bad. They see us as the lowest lifeform and their nemesis at the same time, and they hate it so much that they have to shell out big $ if they want their machine to keep spinning.The more useless value producers they remove from the chain the better, so their golf buddies can get more share of the pie. That's who deserves it anyway.
>>62712811Humans have solved labor and still can't get their heads around it means we're all free. Utopia is here.We'll never have it of course, too many evil assholes in power but post scarcity is here. Has been for awhile actually but its undeniably so now with AI.
>>62712885I unironically am. It hasn’t dawned on the ceos that running the company on LLMs gives them no competitive edge than an autistic jacked on redbull. There’s no creativity if everyone relies on LLMs
