@nixCraft I like how it looks like the sadder engineers are wizzing on the old pile of complexity
@nixCraft as long as ai learns from what we feed it with, ai will be just a big screenshot of human stupidity, so i dont expect to be anywhere near the level of a mediocre pro
@alihan_banan @nixCraft You could solve it by feeding it "good code" exclusively. But knowing that most code will be at least partially generated by AI, I sincerely doubt this will ever be possible lol.
@alihan_banan @nixCraft AI is just the statistical average of what's fed into it.
@nixCraft You can substitute "Low Code" for "AI" and that comic is still true. 😭
@nixCraft it's been going on for ages, could easily replace AI in final panel with k8s, cloud, devOps, Java, TypeScript, serverless, etc etc. there are many sad engineers!
@ej @nixCraft I think that's why this really hits
@nixCraft XKCD had this right years ago: https://xkcd.com/1838/

@nixCraft I'm not an engineer, but I understand and deeply feel the connection between "complexity" and "sad" – do I still get to be sad, too, or am I relegated to shut up and be a user? 🤔

@nixCraft i can confirm the post-AI pile makes me even sadder than the old pile. at least the old pile had somewhat readable code.

Code written by AI is pretty crappy, and it'll take a LOT for it to get much better at all.

@nixCraft The sadder engineers seem to be peeing on the old pile of complexity.

@nixCraft EXACTLY THAT!

Same as with #Blockchain and #Cloud, #Ai is just a #hype with no added value.

Speaking of Blockchain: I was once very close to smacking someone into the ER because they wanted too "just add Blockchain" to something where it has no value whatsoever!

@nixCraft Funny that the pile of complexity is made by engineers. So who are they blaming for that?
@nixCraft - my life in a cartoon! Love it.
