  Old man shakes hands at clouds.

  I love the ageism in this “but you’re just old” defence. It was comically bad when your parents told you to wear your seatbelt, and it’s weak now.

    Yes hyper fixate on the meme reference rather than the actual argument that sits below it.

  I think at most of the disdain comes from the business side. Sure I can opt out of AI at home but at work I’m constantly getting asked how AI has helped my productivity and potentially “graded” on how much or how effectively I use it. Business doesn’t care about your personal fulfillment, just your productivity, and if they grind you into dust to w acchere you no longer find any joy or motivation in your work they’ll get the next college graduate that’s already used AI for 80% of their assignments and wonder why quality has tanked, integrations are failing, security breaches are up, and energy costs have doubled.

  A coworker that regularly uses AI code assistants asked me to review 78 brand new files he made. That really puts my back against the wall. Do I spend a day going through everything “the old way”? Do I ask AI to summarize each function to bridge the gap in knowledge? Do I ask it, file by file, if it sees any issues? Or do I just rubber stamp it because I should the million-dollar product my boss thinks I should use more than Google or official docs?

    Tell your coworker to review it with his AI and then ship it.

    PRs still need to be reasonable size for human review, regardless of how they were authored. IMO

      Yeah but when you complain you are seen as slowing down progress. Your college wrote all of this useful code and now you are blocking it from being deployed? Our shareholders want to know that we are winning the AI race so we need to release this feature asap. How can we unblock this? I have added 3 new engineers to the team let’s make sure this gets out today!!

        The man-hour myth will never die in the management class

  Yeah like I’m a lot cooler on the AI hype than most but the articles argument is weak. This is the same shit people were saying when SO and Google were gaining traction. Surprisingly having one tool does not limit people from digging further into internals

    The article is written by ai.

      I don’t know why you’re getting downvoted, it really reads like the most basic AI slop. It may not be, but if you asked AI to write this article, this is very close to what you would get.

        With images such as “fullstack Rasputin”, “Kafkaesque time sink”, “LaTeX-laden elder scroll” and so on? Hell, no.
