I am going to gleefully watch those companies burn when seniors retire or move on and there is no one left with experience to supervise AI code or beginner level coders.

Exactly, nobody is investing in their to-be seniors and dev culture.
Expecting ai-slop to make the difference is a fairy tale told to investors and board members.
I am not against any of our new devs (or myself, a longtime dev) using ai generated code but I expect them to understand it so they can fix it and build their skillsets. I tell them that renting their dev skills from a machine will do them no favors.

Ahh reminds me of when I was a fresh CS grad working at Dominos
Now they get to spend the next 5-10 years realizing they are slaves and everything adults have told them about the economy, work, and fairness was cope from those adult slaves.

The “pick yourself up by your bootstraps” folks ordering a burrito. Bootstrap?

If I pick myself up by the bootstrap, am I technically floating?

I’m sorry but if AI coding platforms have replaced you as a programmer then you were a bad programmer or were poorly educated and should just work at Chipotle.

garretble@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Exactly.
Even college graduates need time to learn and build experience as they work up the ladder. A lot of theory and stuff someone might learn in college won’t necessarily be what they’ll find in the job world.

Pay no attention to the massive layoffs across the tech sector the last 2 years. Definitely the workers’ faults

You’re so right. That’s why I graduated with a degree in computer science with a 3.58 GPA whilst carrying my teams on projects and worked my ass off to apply to many jobs and internships during my education as well as learning additional skills not being taught to me on the side…only to be met with nothing but rejection after rejection without so much as an internview. Guess I should just work at Walmart for $14/hr because I’m a talentless hack that will never amount to anything. $70,000 well spent!
reddig33@lemmy.world 2 months ago
If you have a degree, you can work somewhere else besides Chipotle. It might not be in the field of your major, but it will be better paying than fast food.

what a poorly educated and tone deaf response to a post that didn’t ask for or need your opinion.
just because you have thoughts, doesn’t mean you’re free to share them.
atticus88th@lemmy.world 2 months ago
What an uneducated and pointless response to a comment that didn’t ask for or need your opinion.
Just because you dislike the reality of our world doesn’t mean it’s not happening.

I am software engineer, and the coding LLM we have is absolutely capable of doing a bunch of tasks you’d give to a new grad.
dil@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
Or they did compsci degrees like most schools offer not software engineering and didn’t actually learn how to code
atticus88th@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Judging by the replies here I think you are absolutely right.

Were quite a ways off from technician jobs get replaced at scale. Like some VC cunt can dream but good luck.

There’s another side to this.
This means there’s a lot of programmers who are available to work on other things. It’s an opportunity for businesses to start and new programs to be made.

Why should I even try? If the job market is this bad.
FiskFisk33@startrek.website 2 months ago
if you start studying now, chances are the market will have improved when you graduate.

How was the interview? Did they pull questions from HackerRank?
Asking for me, because I’m an old CS grad in a bad job market.

Yeah, these types of stories are advertisements directed at the landlord class. “Look, AI means fewer icky employees to have to put up with! At last, business without labor!”

Almost all companies deploying generative AI don’t see their revenue change significantly. AI is not the money maker people claimed it was going to be.
Perspectivist@feddit.uk 2 months ago
When people make claims about what “AI” is going to do in the future they’re talking about Artificial General Intelligence - not Large Language Models.

The “journalist” credited’s bio literally says he is addicted to twitter as some kind of base of honor.
