    Most of the younger generation devs at my company are using ai coding - mostly for said gruntwork (like writing small functions, api methods, writing what data they want to see instead of complex sql requests), but some are more enthusiastic and use heavier agentic setups. The best validation is that we still have old-school human pull request reviews (enforced by a scary Chief R&D) and if your colleague would see something unreadable or weird, your stuff wouldn’t pass.
    I’m a Product Manager and I have several pet products now - all pretty viable (depending on the time I invested in each of course). A stocks website, a money splitting android app (now passing google play review), a weather app. All working, and I have really low coding skills myself

      AI corporate slop is when you mass generate a bunch of stuff, don’t read it, and then export the mental burden to a different coworker. You make them looks less productive and you look extremely productive, when really you’re stealing the productivity of colleagues.

      You just reminded me of that.

        Again, in a corporate setting I see that the “generated stuff” is being read before being approved. And in my private setting I’m working on my projects for myself, I’m not “stealing the productivity”, I obtained productivity. All my life I was coming up with ideas, planning, and managing, but having something on my own wasn’t possible - I can’t hire a dev team. Now I am my team, I’m empowered.

        “Sounds”? You are an expert in measuring value by vague comments?
        Okay:

        • The expense splitting app I made for myself, my friends, and maybe other people (no ide if it will be picked up), after I was managing a giant spreadsheet of our new year’s trip costs. Now my app calculates everything, of any complexity, and it is used.
        • The stock trading site has everything that I need from a stock trading site (to look for opportunities to buy), but I needed 3 or 4 before
        • The weather app I made not because there’s not enough weather apps, but because each and every app wants your data for 1000s of their partners, so I made my own thing that shows weather.
          If it’s not real life value, then I don’t know

          There’s foss apps for weather that don’t collect all that data, if you’re using Android it’s usually a good idea to first check f-droid for utilities like that as it’s likely someone else already built it, and it’s usually still receiving fixes and updates (the page shows you that kind of information).
