  • Eh, no?

    I still haven’t seen AI produce anything remotely reliable within a single function, let alone put multiple functions together, let alone build something with multiple classes, let alone something actually useful, let alone a big project

    Yeah, AI got useful as a rubber Ducky. I use it for getting a sense of possible directions, maybe a fresh idea I hadn’t considered sometimes. It saves me from opening up DDG and Ctrl-clicking the first ten results to check all the pages, sometimes.

    But the AI coder inside my IDE still gets code confidently wrong about 70% of the time, and we’re talking single lines here and the mistakes are fundamental, like variables that haven’t been initialized.

    Having said that, I’m sure that someday someone will.come up with an AI that can do real development and that day it’ll be able to develop itself and that day we’ll all be properly fucked because that will really quickly delve into something we can’t control and something more intelligent than all of us.

    I’m sure some tech bros can’t wait for that to happen and I honestly believe we need to rid the world of these idiots before they doom and destroy us all.












  • Ooohhh, I’ve been there!

    The CTO couldn’t keep his grubby hands of his employees, loved to “tickle” everybody because it was suuuuch a positive experience for all involved! None of the employees dared to say anything

    So anyway, I started blasting. I reported the fucker immediately, the branch where I worked for went ballistic, the one in Malta where he was stationed… Suggested I talk it out with him.

    So the Americas branch where I worked started a shit show while I went on my (already planned) vacation. All the VPs said they’d have my back!

    When I came back, my first meeting with my devs was replaced with a meeting with HR and the CTO who immediately dumped my ass.

    The very next day, the CTO himself was fired and he committed suicide shortly after (no joke)

    Moral of the story: fuck corporate environments, they’re fucking toxic as hell and promote this behavior and for all the “we got your back!!” Nobody showed up when I got axed because they were all scared for their jobs, except me.

    No. Regrets.
