AI is lowering the bar for code quality the world over.

AI is making people even more lazy
I can imagine we will see some amazing security disasters. Should I trust a lightning wallet built by an inexperienced Dev with an AI helper? 😬
As an appsec engineer, at least it ensures I’ll have work for the foreseeable future 😅
Back at my first engineering job, our management offloaded all drafting work to a company in India.
Their work was so bad we had to manually check and edit everything they delivered, and when all was said and done, the final products were pretty shitty. But it was so much cheaper that that was just how things were. AI is going to be the same thing.
it makes people who know how to code more lazy and it makes learning to code for those who didn't know how, much easier. catch 22.
Lowering the bar maybe but also creating massive opportunities for millions of individuals that always had ideas of what to build, but lacked technical expertise. Progress isn’t linear 📉📈
There's an art to any craft. Lowering the bar ensures new entrants never feel like they need to master it. And people who would strive for mastery would find it anyway.
I'm not thrilled for a future where production code becomes even worse because it's made entirely with AI by people who lack technical expertise.
Agreed, I don’t think shipping mediocrity benefits anyone. But I think it’s a lot like watching children develop skills, create art etc.
Everyone starts somewhere
