       People worry AI will replace programmers.Lol. Have you seen the code it trains on? Half the internet is one regex away from a national emergency.

       @fribbledom And whenever an npm sneezes all of it's ecosystem seems to be getting sick.

       @fribbledom That said I feel like this is partially why I do thing it'll replace some programmers, because there's virtually no quality requirements for software.Like I feel like it doesn't even needs to work as a demo to sell.

       My manager put in his notice and left last month. He had put me as lead on a big project and he loved vibe coding with Claude (spent ~$300/month of his own money on it). He also merged things as I was leaving comments. So much got through code review that shouldn't have.I've found tests with copy/paste queries in them that don't test the actual database objects, REST APIs that are completely wrong which he never sent to our QA people, code that replaces known GUIDs with randomly generated ones, code that doesn't check and return errors, stuff that is in zero requirement documents I can find and that none of the stakeholders said they wanted, horrors you can't imagine ...I leave nearly 30~40 comments on every single PR that's filled with this spec-driven coded crap. He got out and left me with a steaming pile of GPT/Claude that I'm terrified to even start moving into production. :blobcatgrimacing:

       @djsumdog not going to lie why does it seem like your soon to be ex-manager has effectively handed you a death sentence.

       @fribbledom I love how AI boosters always bring up “human slop” whenever they’re challenged.Sure, but human slop wasn’t making software worse at this speed. Human limitations at least created friction, giving people time to reconsider, review, and react before shipping garbage at industrial scale.

       @fribbledom AI does not replace programmers. CEOs replace programmers with AI.

       @fribbledom 30 years of abject garbage and reinvented wheels, with tiny threads of gold threaded through it here and there.:blobcatcoffee:

       @fribbledomNo, it won't replace programmers, it will just make them worse.I'm doing a course whose final assignment involves programming, and last year we noticed some people handing in much longer and more complex code than the year before, without being able to actually do more.This year, so far, all the assignments I looked at were suffering even more from this. The code mostly works but trying to read it is not fun. There is just so much ineffective entropy in there, which puts me in a difficult place because I need to read and grade *some aspects* of the code, but not the programming skills because this is not a programming course.

       @fribbledom when writing my last powershell I used ChatGPT to create script fragments. In the chap. on WMI, I looked at createling a Windows share.  Asked to.create a fragment, it output a lovely looking script that broke. I re entered the prompt several times, but i never got a working sample. It did point me to the documentation for the correct answer. I hate to think how bad the result might be when it's asked go generate, or worse 'fix', larger chunks of code . YMMV.
