AI Didn’t Simplify Software Engineering: It Just Made Bad Engineering Easier https://robenglander.com/writing/ai-did-not-simplify/

Look on the bright side in a few years there will be good demand for "artisanal" software engineers and specialized IT folks who can fix this AI slop generated code at 1000$ per hour.

AI Didn't Simplify Software Engineering: It Just Made Bad Engineering Easier

@nixCraft If all the companies that have "pivoted to AI" haven't gone bust by then. That's my main concern, people keep saying "Yes, but in a year they'll have to hire us back to fix everything", but who will hire us back? The companies who have destroyed themselves by wholesale buying into this fad?

@poundquerydotinfo @nixCraft money never vanshies. It just changed its owner. ;)

Someone will have a lot of money.

@jnfrd @nixCraft Yeah, but they won't be paying us ${WAGES_WE_MISSED} to fix things, those things will be gone. They'll be paying us ${PROBABLY LESS THAN WE WERE BEING PAID} to set up new infrastructure for new companies.

@poundquerydotinfo @nixCraft of course they won’t pay for the damage they caused. Why should they?
