Comment on One in four CEOs say AI is a bubble but will continue investing
DireTech@sh.itjust.works 1 day agoI like AI. I think it’s great for quick references or a starting point, but I’ve already seen projects scrapped and restarted because a bunch of junior devs used AI with no understanding and management gave up on them after a year where the number of significant bugs never decreased. Take one down, feed it to the AI, two more bugs in the tracker.

It’s changing rapidly, but handing automation tools to people who don’t understand the underlying concepts just gets you a bigger mess. There are no well-established best practices for how to use it safely and effectively because it’s too new and changing too fast.
It will settle down eventually, but a lot of people will do a lot of dumb things first.

Best practices are something I’ve rarely ever seen applied at corporations. If I’m lucky, I’m only trying to explain to management why we need source control, if I’m unlucky the tech team needs to be educated and forced to use it.
Really can’t see AI assistance going smooth when it lets people think even less about what they’re doing.
There are definitely companies that can take advantage of it and use it properly, but I think they are going to be a minority.
