Comment on A generation taught not to think: AI in the classroom

  There is a funny two-way filtering going on here.

  Job applications are auto-rejected unless they go over how “AI will reshape the future and I am so excited” on at least linkedin.

  Then engineers that do the interviews want people interested in learning about computers through years of hard work and experience?

    Problem is, people are choosing careers based on how much it will pay them, instead of things they want to do/ are passionate about. Its rare nowadays to have candidates who also have hobby work/ side projects related to the work. At least by my reckoning.

      Problem is most jobs don’t pay enough anymore. So people don’t have the luxury of picking what they’re passionate about, they have bills to pay. Minimum wage hasn’t raised in 16 years. It wasn’t enough 16 years ago. It’s now buys only 60% of what it did back then.

  Ths seniors can tell. And even if you make it into the job, itll be pretty obvious the first couple of days.

    I interview juniors regularly. I can’t wait until the first time I interview a “vibe coder” who thinks they’re a developer, but can’t even tell me what a race condition is or the difference between synchronous and asynchronous execution.

    That’s going to be a red letter day, lemme tell ya.

      “Would you say I have a decorator on this function?”

      I get that they can download widgets to accelerate the results, but they need to learn how the things work. I just code what i need by hand instead. Net result is quick up front results, but heaven forbid maintenance or customization.

        Thanks to this crap, the world is being flooded with awful, unmaintainable code, and the thing is, the LLMs that build it promptly forget everything about it as soon as you move on to the next task. Fixing this garbage will be an unending nightmare.
