30-something/f/Sydney #Gamer, Disaster #Lesbian, #Autist, trying to mask less but it's difficult! Not showing my face coz I like being safe and you can think I'm a bot, I am cool with that.

@RickiTarr

Seems like posting "Hey I used AI to make this and I like it" is pretty brave in an environment where nearly every post on the #AI tag is someone bravely declaring all use of AI soulless, criminal, etc.

Or did you not just pre-emptively critique and judge those people?

Most is no-effort garbage but I've no doubt some distrurbed souls are pouring everything into it as a new medium, and denying it doesn't make it "not art", just unpopular.

I suppose I could teach classes on this

@mattesilver I haven't seen it with my work, yet. I have "use existing patterns" in the prompts/skills among others. Design debt is a concern of mine. We have no BA's so it's just a matter of time before we are laden down with spaghetti business logic.

Speed and agentic workflow are the mandates though. 🙃 I'm trying very hard to care less at/about work. It's challenging 🥲

@HaraldKi yes, I had an example of that recently. I needed to change a hardcoded enum in the legacy code, I knew what I wanted, and it was just easier to make the change myself rather than having to explain it in natural language.

Re: "junior developer": in some ways it's so much smarter (eg creating an ffbd of the code way faster than i could), in either ways it is soo stupid. Like my claude opus 4.6 can't stop using magic strings/numbers no matter the prompt.

@mattesilver depends what you mean by vibe code, haha. My old workflow was good ole ctrl c +v albeit with heavy modifications, & as for what was copied; mostly existing design patterns in the codebase. New workflow is feed tech design & ticket to planner bot -->implementation plan--->copilot in VS-->QA bot-->I review it. Mgmt at my work is pushing for full agentic workflow though, so god knows how long this will last b4 a full hands-off workflow is mandated.🙃

Also, this is one workflow at a time. I don't get the talk of parallelization of agents. How on earth do you deal with all the context switching? I think it would kill me tbh.

It takes all of my cognitive bandwidth just reading and understanding the outputs.

And yes, I did have an agent review the code before I reviewed it. Also had another create an ffbd for me with line annotations. Still ended up having to go deep on that code review at the end to understand it.
So my work is mandating agentic coding. One thing I have found is that it shifts to the right (as opposed to you know...shiftLeft), both in terms of quality and understanding. I have adjusted by scrutinizing the output (code) much deeper than if I owned more of the workflow (discovery at minimum).
But ofc, that annuls much of the time saved using an agentic workflow. #programming #agents #AI

I saw southern auroras last night!!!! Rakiura! Holy cow that was AMAZING

I can't even hyper focus my way through this since I need cognitive bandwidth to spare for social scripting and masking for ceremonies.

If I'm not sufficiently diplomatic during refinement and planning, very bad things happen😭 #programming #ActuallyAutistic
