Software developers saying that using AI is causing them to lose their ability to code, no shit.

As someone who took a few years out doing managing and not working on code day-to-day, I'm not surprised. When I came back to coding day-to-day it took me little while to get back up to speed.

"If you don't use it you lose it"

This is one reason i'm avoiding using LLMs to write code while I can.

Software Engineers Say They’re Losing the Ability to Code Now That AI Does It for Them

In an era when AI can write code, software engineers are desperately holding onto the very skills that once made them valuable to employers.

Ok so it was going on the "to watch" list but instead I've just watched it all. Worth a watch, really enjoyed it. Some really good points and topics to think on

@awfulwoman thanks, onto the "to watch" list that goes. I feel like between the doomers and the boosters it's hard to get good commentary on AI

I'll try and adapt as I have in the past, but I'm not sure the i'll enjoy the job. I'm not complaining I've had 20+ years of making a living poking at code. I've been lucky, I turned an interest into a career. And if it's not something I wish to do any longer I'll have to find an alternative.

I feel the same about trying ai development. Alongside all the bad that the companies do and the other externalities. The ui feels wrong. It looks like the new world of development will revolve around natural language, the part I don't enjoy and I'm frankly crap at.

@tinker this something I realised recently, I've had no desire to use AI search because the interface feels wrong. Why would I want to 'talk' to the search engine, it's less precise

Ghostty is leaving GitHub. I'm GitHub user 1299, joined Feb 2008. I've visited GitHub almost every single day for over 18 years. It's never been a question for me where I'd put my projects: always GitHub. I'm super sad to say this, but its time to go. https://mitchellh.com/writing/ghostty-leaving-github

So far I have not been enjoying my #fastapi experience. I think it's a me thing, but I find the docs unhelpful and example on the web equally so

In todays fun and games, I spent a couple of hours trying to figure out why #fastapi dependency overrides weren't working. No errors, couldn't find anything search on the web. Turns out, and I should have thought about this sooner, that you have to import what you want to override using the same path as where you set it. So if you "from x import y" where you set it, you better make sure you do the same when overriding otherwise nothing will happen
