It feels like it's becoming harder and harder to escape AI in programming, and it sucks. It's making being a programmer so miserable, it feels like everyone around you is relying on it, so even if you don't use it yourself, you're spending all your time reviewing slop, and having to fight with coworkers who don't understand their own work.

I'm really not sure what the hell to do about it at this point? I just want to work with people who enjoy writing their own code as much as I do.

@SudoCat This resonates with me so much. I had to review my coworker's AI slop recently and it wasn't a fun experience. Lots of unnecessary lines and comments.

It's even worse for me since I'm also getting pressured by management to use AI to "ship features at lightning speed".

@meeu yeah this is the daily experience where I am. My partner found everyone is just doing massive DB calls and then filtering and sorting everything in memory. Diabolical.
