AI is here. Deal. With It. Your authoritarian chains have been shattered, knowledge Nazi. No longer will creation be a luxury for the mentally wealthy. It has now been fully democratized so that even republican voters will be able to code soon.
These are the CEOs that are replacing the workforce with AI. I fear for the future of humanity. Everything will be endless slop, with pre-slop era knowledge sold on a black market.
In at most 5 years from now there will never be a better time to be a senior developer.
Shit is already cracking (just look at all the spectacularly stupid that MS has had recently with Windows 11) and we’ve barelly started experiencing what happens when AI coded software goes through the full software life-cycle - the kind of thing where code done by junior developers almost innevitably fails is the indirect stuff like maintenability or security practices and AI is basically a junior developer which NEVER LEARNS no matter how much you explain something to it even whilst telling you it has totally understood what you mean.
Imagine that all of a sudden a large fraction of corporate software development is made entirelly by teams of junior developers who have such a high turnaround that every weak the team changes (so you can’t ever help them learn and they never improve). No fast forward this a couple of years and imagine what happens when all the software done by those devs has been on the Internet a couple of years exposed to all kinds of attackers, gone thorough a couple of cycles of bug-fixing and working new business requirements into it or they’ve been used for long enough by users that the data storages have been storing a year of two of data, all stored according to junior developer’s idea of what and how data should be stored.
Shit crashing with the most stupid bugs, hacked by script kiddies running 1990s scripts because even there is no proper defensive coding for Internet exposed software or it’s riddled with holes from mis-integration of different parts, years of use leading to systems massivelly slowing down to a crawl because databases have no indices and where the same data is stored multiple times and thus riddled with inconsistent data, pretty much instant spaghettification of the code-base and a designed level with each different block of code generated by AI being inconsistent in coding style and software design with every other AI generated block of code, constant and massive integration problems with systems not being at all prepared for upstream flaws and just about every software change breaking downstream systems, the entire life-cycle of software systems from greenfield project to “so unmaintainable it’s cheaper to rewrite it from scratch” running in less than a year rather than 5 or 10 years.
Basically every concern above junior developer level being randomly mishandled, sometimes in multiple different ways in the same code-based.
This shit is what the adoption of AI coding will deliver us.
Again - look at Windows 11: we’re already seeing the rates of bugs and the gravity of them going back to how it was in the 90s and the stupidity and obviousness of the errors exceeding even that early era of software development.
In case anyone is curious, this is the original post on X.

Fuck that nazi platform, just add “cancel” to the the domain to avoid driving traffic there
This is a Nitter instance, there are many other instances as well to avoid any one being overloaded or blocked!
Awesome thanks. Also avoids the awful UI and forced login popup.
God please, this can’t be a honest question
Embrace it. Teach these people how to use data URIs to “embed images into the HTML file”, then laugh when they burn even more tokens.

I wouldn’t dare to venture into the badlands
Be safe out there and use xcancel.com instead
Thank you, i needed this proverbial internet condom
Eugene, is that you?

This is 40K shit where we lost a golden era of tech and we’ll have to scavenge old tech.
