unawarewolf 🐺@nixCraft Job prospects for coders have never looked better <3
The Doctor@nixCraft After most of us are out on the streets.
Thomas Traynor@nixCraft and for professional writers to clean up the documentation. Then the architects, testers and project management.
Paul_IPv6going to be a lot like cleaning up the burning kuwaiti oil fields after desert storm, good money but definitely earning. also, judicious use of explosives may be the most efficient way to put the fire out. ;)
`Da Elf@paul_ipv6 @nixCraft I say just roll the code back
NSKE@nixCraft Is that before or after everyone de-reacts all the websites that never needed to be a react app?

Radio AzureusI have a distinct feeling that you have an overfascination for LLM slop and hallucinated AI
Relax take a deep breath, drop down your ❤️ rate, chill

madison taylor@nixCraft yeah, i figure there's two ways to play software these days.
option one, you put quality first, all the time, it is the core of everything.
option two, you compete with the entire world to have the sloppiest slop thrown out to the world the soonest and cheapest, erasing all your customer loyalty and competitive differentiation ... and then, your margins.
Worik@worik @nixCraft see you say that, and maybe you can attract investment and make cashmoney at the IPO, and maybe even clean up later, but that's probabalistic chance at success at best and your firm is full of people from the slop culture; that's hard to change.
your competitors can LLM a service up just as well as you, agents can migrate your customers off your platform, agentic buyers will care little about the power of your brand, and your moat is all gone
I agree, but playing devil's advocate...
If you write secure reliable software you cannot attract investment and make cashmoney at the IPO. The AI slop merchants will eat your lunch.
In the end Free Software will triumph, but looking at the example of operating systems where the worst sell best, and the Free Software OSes are the best and sell worse, is informative
In the long run quality wins, in the long run we are all dead
J.A. Machete@nixCraft can't wait! Grab popcorn!
aptitude@nixCraft the worry is that those vibe coded failures will be so catastrophic that there won't be a company left to hire anyone after they get €5b GDPR fine when some Agentic Artificial Idiot sends healthcare records to a North Korean blackmail farm.

Nazo@nixCraft There really will... It's going to take a lot of work to fix and there are going to be a lot of bosses practically on their knees begging people to come back.
Everyone fired, if you even consider going back, make sure they pay you a lot more, provide benefits, etc etc.
Of course, really it's the higher ups that need to be out of their jobs for forcing it where it doesn't belong and for firing or forcing all the people out who could have kept it from getting like this in the first place. Those people are always going to be fooled by the latest scams unfortunately...
