Wait... Do you think that people can't work in a field if they use their own products to make sure they're working?

So wait.. you're using AI gen code in prod...to make sure the AI gen code you didn't write works?

No dev is out there using AI to write prod code, they're using it to help, but a ton of the code that AI spits out is trash and they know it. If you put in over 200k lines of code yourself, you're not checking it and whatever you are rolling out, is probably swiss fucking cheese in the security department.

I'm not going to dox myself by linking to what I've done. It's just sad that you're yet another person (probably a greybeard) who thinks they know everything but they're completely unprepared for the future.

Naa I'm not a greybeard at all, I'm just not a panicked fad follower who thinks the advantages of LLMs are going to replace everyone down to a single guy named Roger who has AI write him 200k lines of code for prod.

And if you can't figure out how to check over 200K lines of properly formatted and documented code, then you're a shit engineer.

Shit what AI are you using that spitting out documentation as well as properly formatting? Sounds like you got a gold mine on your hands...

What the fuck do you think "augmenting" means to bloodsucking MBAs? If one mid-level engineer can do the work of five, then they can scale a team of ten down to two. There are many reasons not to do that no matter how good AI is (i.e. bus factor). But since when has that stopped management from making dumbass decision?

O I'm not saying it won't, just like they did in 08 when the outsourced everything to code farms in India and shit canned a bunch of senior devs only to find out the code is trash and not documented at all...same thing is going to happen here...it's a fad...hell even the cloud was a fad and a ton of it's starting to come back in house.

Not going to waste anymore time on you. Hope you have a good retirement plan in place. You're going to need it.

Sounds like you got it all figured out. Have a good day.
