i know for a fact that is impossible to do with the standard libraries of #golang AI can't generate functioning code even one time out of 5, it would be faster to write it by hand

the simple, yet deceptively sophisticated language grammar is a huge roadblock for AI to generate go code with any degree above scripting level of complexity

at the way things are going, there's gonna be such a thin field of competitors for me in my skillset that in 2 years time i will walk into a $100/hour server dev job that has knowing managers who have got completely sick and tired of guys who have no skills and reject 99 out of 100 applications

it's gonna be quite the turn-around for me because when i first started my career as a tech support freelancer, i did that because i tried to apply for thousands of jobs and got like one in a hundred "sorry" replies, i expect within two years they are gonna be flooding my inbox with sugar coated begging and huge pay packages for me because i did the work the hard way and proved that you can't shortcut serious engineering

It's already like that, in testing.

Used to be that there were 3 to 5 competent people applying for every testing job and it was a real competition, back in the naughties. But, now, it's like... I applied to 5 positions, got interviewed in person for 3 within 2 weeks, and got offered this job the day after the interview.

The position is still open, for more hires, but he's received a pile of applications and hasn't contacted even one. I've seen some of the applications. The resumes are almost all AI-generated and full of absolute bizarre garbage that doesn't even make any sense. And the rest of them can't speak Deutsch, to save their lives. Just garbled nonsense.

All of my coworkers are pretty good, but he has to weed through knee-high piles of crap to find them. Geez. Unfreakingbelievable.

And this is all critical systems stuff. This is not some little cellphone game app, or something.

It's the software used to design Autobahn bridges and conceive powertrain functions, or route logistics parks, and etc.

Scary as heck. They can't even math.

it's hard not to get the feeling we are in a slow motion trainwreck right now as a species

even if trump manages to get a few things in order the magnitude of the epic bullshit out there in the world could not be fixed by a human. It be God fixing time.
