I used to think the average person wasn't dumb but everything following Trump's 2nd term has changed my mind

I work with people that use GPT. Their code is garbage save for one (1) guy who actually tests it and makes sure the logic is okay

This is who the average code gen user is like:

they're unaware they're writing bad code

they copy and paste the output without 2nd thought for the approach the code gen took

they think code gens generate "correct code", even for SQL statements that make heavy business logic assumptions

anyone telling you to use AI code Gen is either incompetent or extremely naive

It is not ready for its advertised use and at best it is good at generating boiler plate

also anyone who tells you programming is going away because of AI has shit for brains

the people typing stuff in AI (assuming we're in a future where it actually works) won't be your average andy business guy, it's going to be a coder. the role would just be slightly different

not to mention there are thousands of applications to programming that you do not want code generators to touch such as heavy machinery automation in which a programming error can literally end lives
