I have spent my whole career watching coders being almost worshiped and having money thrown at them and walking around like they held secret knowledge thinking they're wizards. Its fucking ridiculous. We aren't at the point of completely automating their work, but I'm definitely here to watch them get humbled to kingdom come in the next few years as LLMs make their secret knowledge irrelevant 🍿
Get "software engineers" bagging groceries
FIRST OF ALL, RETARD, A TON OF THE WORLD'S MOST USEFUL CODE IS OPEN SOURCE. NOT EXACTLY SECRET 🤣🤣🤣
SECOND, YOU THINK AUTOMATED SLOP IS GOING TO REPLACE HUMAN THINKING AND INGENUITY? GOOD SOFTWARE DEVS MAKE BANK FOR A REASON. YOURE CLUELESS
TLDR: CRY HARDER
First of all, douche, if you had actually taken time to read the comment, he said they walked around LIKE they have a secret knowledge, not that they actually have one.
Second, he said we aren’t at the point of completely automating their work, which is true. We are seeing some aspects of “automated slop” (for better or worse) replacing authentic human thinking and ingenuity.
For you to assume that human thinking is valued in all businesses and software realms, is frankly naive. I don’t believe AI will ever truly replace software devs, but you can’t ignore data and the data is already showing software dev job demand is down, salaries are down, and growth is down.
TLDR: if you’re going to reply like an ass and call people clueless…maybe don’t sound clueless yourself. ✌🏽
