i understand your concern about relaying too much on ai tools like claude. while they can enhance productivity, they shouldnt replace critical thinking and problem solving skills that define good software developer so yea taking break from ai and working on "old" way can help sharpen those skills. i think its important to strike balance between working on new/old way but i also have feeling that everyone is addicted and trying to develop 24/7 cos someone might "steal" their idea. like theres some kind of imaginary race and if u dont code for 1 day with claude (even if it is nonsense) u wont end up first...
it was hype all day long and managers forgot that ai is tool and not some magic stick. tool like dewalt or makita. after ai went out i got expected from some collegues at company to generate 600 700 lines of code or more, i tried to explain i cannot read or understand whats actually happening that fast, but they were like just push, go, copy paste it. complete autodrive mode, insane. then i spend weekend fixing it, making me double mad. whats actually happening is retarded, cos of all stories out there managers thinking that claude generate perfect code, and u could make twitter clone in half a day...
custom php framework ai native multi tenant saas, 0 vendor dependencies, closed loop self healing in production on hetzner shared host, no k8s, no docker no ci vendor. pipline is apm/waf/logger fires critical. telegram msg with analyze or ignore buttons, tap opens github, ai routine drafts pr, i review, merges, snapshot db/git sha, git reset --hard .6sec deploy, then queue worker runs 5min health check. it has ei ai act registry that auto discovers ai systems, gdpr, perf regresion detection thats actually statistical not %-delta, mann-kendall/theil-sen/cohen, per domain db routing and some other stuff. go ahead and tell me why this is terrible idea, i have folder for that also:)
Worst than that is that corporation leadership is crazy, they all screaming ai, thinking its a magic stick, sometimes they do manage to automate something but not realizing ai<>automation, every manager like to spread stories about ai and future processes while not realizing they still use excel and they are 20 years away from ai
Yea u, me and few others, when they say it is must everyone will follow and give them even kids faces. cos majority of ppl are sheeps that are waiting for orders same as they did with covid vaccines. During covid at some point i had feeling that my cousins will tied me up and drag to hospital to get vaccine if authorities said yes, go, hunt unvaccinated
it wont happen, we gonna get uber lazy and stop using brain. new generations already scored less points in every single intellectual tests then generations before them. we will need even more memory in future cos of bad code, just look at windows 11, its awful
