I used to think the average person wasn’t dumb but everything following Trump’s 2nd term has changed my mind
I work with people that use GPT. Their code is garbage save for one (1) guy who actually tests it and makes sure the logic is okay
This is who the average code gen user is like:
they’re unaware they’re writing bad code
they copy and paste the output without 2nd thought for the approach the code gen took
they think code gens generate “correct code”, even for SQL statements that make heavy business logic assumptions
anyone telling you to use AI code Gen is either incompetent or extremely naive
It is not ready for its advertised use and at best it is good at generating boiler plate
also anyone who tells you programming is going away because of AI has shit for brains
the people typing stuff in AI (assuming we’re in a future where it actually works) won’t be your average andy business guy, it’s going to be a coder. the role would just be slightly different
not to mention there are thousands of applications to programming that you do not want code generators to touch such as heavy machinery automation in which a programming error can literally end lives
I have a hard time giving a go to my friends who still use X every time they post X I vindictively snap back
they literally don’t see anything wrong with it and it pisses me off
