  Possible in the sense that biological brains and human brains aren’t special. But no one will ever convince me that large language models (I’m talking about the actual math and programming that they use today for “AI”) will ever be actually intelligent.

  I’d create my own macro or function for that. I have enough ADD that I cannot stand boring shit like that and I will almost immediately write a pile of code to avoid having to do boring crap like that, even with copilot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is GitHub Copilot worth it to you?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I have not and will not ever use AI generated code that I don’t thoroughly understand. If you properly understand the code you’re committing there shouldn’t be any damage. And beyond AI you should never commit code that you don’t properly understand unless it’s a throw away project.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is GitHub Copilot worth it to you?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve run into that exact issue with copilot (deleting my tests). It is infuriating.

  I don’t think I’d trust it to refactor code for me, not for anything important. I’d need to completely understand both the initial state and the result on a statement-by-statement level to be confident the result wasn’t secretly garbage and at that point I might as well write everything myself.

  I assume you’re implying my confidence is due to having limited competence and thus overestimating my competence? The fact that I have imposter syndrome when I imaging trying to be a professional electrical engineer (despite having a degree) seems counter to your presumed argument.

  I’m thinking more of design than oversight. In my experience building a large, complex system without seriously considering the system design (in the way that a systems engineer would) leads to many “oops” moments that will eat into the schedule.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Systems engineering in the software industry⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago⁩:

  I can see how systems engineering could fit into that role but the project/program managers I’ve talked to were much more focused on management than engineering

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Systems engineering in the software industry⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago⁩:

  Systems engineering is an established discipline, one you can get a degree in. It’s not just a random term I’m making up. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systems_engineering
