@maxleibman I got a high end GPU right there to swap over to once subsidized compute goes away!

@nclm Th as seems plausible, but I think the bubble will pop before we get to that point.
doragasu@maxleibman @nclm Nah, analog design has been long forgotten already.
Freevolt@maxleibman Some people just don't see the problem no matter how much they've been warned until the problem eventually gets them.
Sivation@maxleibman this is the thing which always gets me about this... people falling into the trap of more code == productivity.

I'm not sure about the last part. Given the amount of people who just accept enshittification already as normal because it works most of the time, I think they also accept AI code just because there is seemingly no alternative since their voice is just too weak compared to Corp AI voice.

@SanskritFritz There may be an element of wishful thinking there, for sure.

@maxleibman and during the process the world and the climate crisis is way worse, our pockets shallower, and the mega rich accumulate even more wealth

Old Fucking Punk@maxleibman I know I'm being pedantic all over your humor, but...
IME, the "low code" and "no code" movements were about model-based coding (analysis or design models), not related to the agentic LLM crap. AFAIK, there's been no agentic model creation, as that requires actual intelligence.

@lwriemen Pedantry is welcome, although I think we have a misunderstanding about the points I was making.
I didn’t say low code/no code was about LLMs; it is related because it was the previous wave of products and managerial excitement to claw some of software development away from expensive coders (also, I work in that space, and it IS rancid with AI crap now, too, although that wasn’t my point).
As far as agents go, sure, but that’s not what is meant here by agentic code. Coding “agents” are already running rampant. Phrased that way to be parallel with many of the other trend named here.
@maxleibman Hmmm...I always considered analysts to be more expensive than coders, but point taken. I'm an old Shlaer-Mellor OOA modeler, so that wagon seemed to get hitched to "no code" and "low code" as it tried to stay saleable. I never really grasped what the hard core "no code" and "low code" practitioners were doing, but knew it was tangentially related.
What is "AI" doing in those realms? In the S-M OOA realm some people were looking at it for the model compiler development.

@lwriemen The AI angle comes in a couple different ways—Microsoft (to give the example I’m most familiar with) incorporates Copilot into Power Platform and can be used to start or modify designs for workflows or apps. Doesn’t work well in my experience, but it’s there. They also have an “Apps Agent” in their frontier collection that will build one-off web apps backed by SharePoint data based on user prompts. From the other end, though, there are also platforms that use low-code style interfaces to help non-experts create custom chatbots or workflows/actions chatbots can control.

@maxleibman Cannot wait for the "Just Regular Code Again" to arrive.
