@RomanAlexanderD@xwanyex software engineers dont believe their job is to replace themselves. The true craft of the software engineer is creating and problem solving in an abstract space. This involves automating what they have once done manually, but this doesn’t “replace” them, instead it opens horizons
@xwanyex This post implies that the new tools and developments software engineers have made are driven by selfish/primal drives, which is mostly wrong - these developments were in response to new insights and discovering better ways of adaptation.
@mdepinski@jimstewartson I am literally sitting in front of my multi-tenant AI platform that serves domains such as dentistry, legal, stock/finance - giving me tangible and useful data. All of which is developed with claude. If AI generated code is not giving you efficiency improvements then skill issue
@sweatystartup@JetSetGent@Austen You’re looking at the wrong scenario. Yea you can now vibe code a website/app easier & faster before which will 99.99% of the time be useless. But large corporations which are leveraging AI are having a revolution in innovation. Source: I’m SWE at a company that’s in the S&P500
@TGrtnr@JManCapital Agreed. I hold a deep conviction that $NOW will go up since I am building enterprise AI platforms for my company, and ServiceNow is integral to it
@MrsCMFrancis AI won’t take over the word. But also it’s far from being useless. AI “lying” is a symptom of you either using the tool incorrectly, or not knowing its limitations.
@wealthmatica In feeling the same way after I did a deep analysis. I can see the value in some of ther technical solutions, but I feel they can be easily replicated by other bigger names companies.
@unit_accord@ibuildthecloud This is how I think about it. If you have good sense you know when to verify AI’s work. Sometimes a simple smoke test is all you need without having to inspect the code it created. It’s all dependent on circumstances.
