Comment on I Went All-In on AI. The MIT Study Is Right.

  I’m just not following the mindset of “get ai to code your whole program” and then have real people maintain it? Sounds counter productive

  I think you need to make your code for an Ai to maintain. Use Static code analysers like SonarQube to ensure that the code is maintainable and that functions are small and well defined as you write it.

    I don’t think we should be having the AI write the program in the first place. I think we’re barreling towards a place where remotely complicated software becomes a lost technology

    I don’t mind if AI helps here and there, I certainly use it. But it’s not good at custom fit solutions, and the world currently runs on custom fit solutions

    AI is like no code solutions. Yeah, it’s powerful, easier to learn and you can do a lot with it… But eventually you will hit a limit. You’ll need to do something the system can’t do, or something you can’t make the system do because no one properly understands what you’ve built

    At the end of the day, coding is a skill. If no one is building the required experience to work with complex systems, we’re going to be swimming in a world of endless ocean of vibe coded legacy apps in a decade

    I just don’t buy that AI will be able to take something like a set of State regulations and build a complaint outcome. Most of our base digital infrastructure is like that, or it uses obscure ancient systems that LLMs are basically allergic to working with

    To me, we’re risking everything on achieving AGI (and using it responsibly) before we run out of skilled workers, and we’re several game changing breakthroughs from achieving that

  I’ve made full-ass changes on existing codebases with Claude

  It’s a skill you can learn, pretty close to how you’d work with actual humans

    What full ass changes have you made that can’t be done better with a refactoring tool?

    I believe Claude will accept the task. I’ve been fixing edge cases in a vibe colleague’s full-ass change all month. Would have taken less time to just do it right the first time.

    It’s a skill this “fractional CTO” lacks
