If you hate the idea of your job becoming about cleaning up horrendous "vibe coded" output, spare a thought for accessibility specialists. They've been doing that all along.
I feel you. Any advice for a coping strategy? Just embrace sitting in mud all the time, or..?
@heydon I do worry that the accessibility situation is going to get worse as regs are rolled back in the name of anti-woke.
@heydon So I've just started my masters in CS. This is a program designed for people like myself who don't have much coding experience but want to learn more. Had a meeting with one of the TAs today and he pointed out that people who worry about AI replacing jobs are completely missing the point. Yes, AI will be used more and more in the future, but it may never be at a level where someone will simply be able to "vibe code" a solution without putting any actual work in. These models are really good at generating little snippets of code, but at this point in time, simply cannot operate autonomously without human intervention.
@heydon I can’t write code to save my life but I am great at finding problems in other peoples’ code.
@heydon Accessibility specialist here, can confirm. 😩
