That struck me most and that's why we (software developers) are never going to be engineer.
Consider a doctor just trying ang going along if the patient survives. A brige constructor doing something and after each car that passes fixing problems. A car manufacturer trying new brakes in production without testing. A builder starting to build a house and fix it while people already live there. The list could go on.
It's sad to see a profession on such a decline. I use AI myself, but please please keep doing something _professionally_ or stop doing it as your profession.
Not OP, but I think it's not about producing value now, but how much it will cost in the long term. If you have unmaintaable code that is N times larger than a hand-written codebase, what is the cost to be?
I would say people that hink the LLM is doing a better job than they are in for a treat. I did expect the resulta to be of the same quality as if a human does the job - it averages out and has a big error margin.
Just as happened with the horse, with the car, with the steam machine, with the industrialization in general, ... oh wait, we still have to work 8-10 hours 5 days a week, times two, to make enough for a living.
So when exactly is this productivity going to hit that doubles my income?
Yes, I wholehartly agree. Coming from a week of agent-coding - out of pure curiosity - most code was generated by agents, which I had then to delete and rewrite to use like a quarter of statements to achieve the same, in an understandable, maintainable way.
One of the features I personally do not like. That was/is one of the nicest things on iOS IMHO - set volume more silent and it means more silent, not "only in these 3 out of 27 cases".
Wasn't there a study whose result was that people are not actually running faster but the better results are mostly attributed to changing/improving grounds and better shoes?
Edit: Can't find the study anymore. This one [1] at least partially attributes to material.
I rreally dislike how big corp figured out that the can sell stuff to each other without actually moving some good. Looking at you, Nvidia... I have a feeling that the ordinary people will again pay for that.
Just be careful about any legal implication of doing side-projects during work with work-resources.
