Great, go take that idea to the parents who want justice for the child who is dead due to scumbags like this guy.

To what end? Justice.

Great. Now let him go sit in a jail cell and recieve his punishment, and give the dev opportunity to someone who didnt sell drugs and chose the easy route

And I'm sure if you had your way the prisons would be empty of anyone convicted of a drug related crime because 'they and their terribly sad addictions/illnesses are the real victims'

Theyre in prison as a punishment for crimes

No doubt there will be plenty of suckers, like the companies involved, who buy all this and don't see it for what it is: A criminal playing people to try to find a way to get his sentence reduced or easier time inside

Large parts of the world have anti western media. Because thats what the audience wants to hear.

In your imagination, along with the idea that the ME media was calling for the destruction of the west

Ah yes, the evil facebook, not at all caused by their terrorist activity.

Being useless isnt a preference

In my company if an engineer came out with this nonsense he would be placed on my special system of making his role so unpleasant to the extent that he leaves

Great blogpost to advertise yourself to potential employers that youre completely useless

And within 24 months will have been a total waste of anyones time doing it

Thats because youre conditioned in your culture to want the nice lies that tell you other people care by a society that wraps everything in BS.

Foreigners may consider my culture brutal and unforgiving, but at least its honest from the outset

Apathy? More like the fact that the majority of people are too lazy, not motivated enough, not willing to take risks, and go out and build something of their own that results in wealth, and prefer to sit safe as someones employee, complaining about 'wealth inequality'

Nobody needs to panic. Nobody is hiring purely based on LLMs, and many companies like mine will continue discriminating against women for aslong as governments keep bringing in unreasonable laws surrounding maternity leave

Of course. I'm running a business, not a welfare program

That would defeat the purpose. The whole point is to reduce costs by getting a cheap junior dev and having them operate AI to produce the same or better result for far less

Many people without experience ask this same question.

It isnt relevant. They arent just producing code and pushing it, saying it works. It undergoes the same extensive testing for stability and security as the solution written by anyone else goes through. If it passes that, then its as likely to have issues further down the line as the solution written solely by the senior dev would have.

Theyre getting paid and have a job. If they dont like that deal they can go find another one elsewhere.

But its going to get increasingly difficult to justify promoting them to higher salaries if generative AI continues as it is, as the bottom line is that there will be another junior dev out there that will do the role on less.

>You're so wrong, this only works if..

wrong? I'll gladly continue this 'wrong' approach if it continues to be as successful as it has over the last 6 months. Aswell as it being entertaining seeing the level of cope among 'senior' developers watching someone on 1/4th of their salary design systems better than they can

Its actually the opposite of how people think.

We hire junior devs, but not senior, and dont replace our senior devs. So our developer base is moving towards being junior weighted with less senior. The reason being a junior dev is cheaper, complains less, is more capable now through utilising generative AI, works harder to impress knowing they arent in a safe position, and we can let them go more easily with less process and less reasons needed to be given.

This as usual is just financial mortals speculating on what wealthy people do.

Now they'll learn the hard way that their role is education, not social activism or political indoctrination.

His secret to success was doing nothing for 20 years and letting idiots build him into a genius in the void of anything which would have demonstrated otherwise

The guy to go to if you want an awful boring movie

Written by someone naive who just wasted his time writing all that, all through not understanding it isnt a problem. Its by design.

Oh, they will think up something, and gullable useful idiots will continue to believe they actually believe that stuff, whilst they rake in the money from content engagement, laughing at the idiots trying to convince them the earth isnt flat for the 9000th time

In a high stress work environment, don't be an idiot who eats poorly, sleeps too little, drinks too much alcohol, and then thinks that during the day they can function at a high level without issues

My comment isnt based on dealing with a handful of companies or teams, but decades of dealing with US developers, which especially since the early 2000s, have generally had these attitudes.

The root problem is the same.

And on top of that, when you are doing 'rubbish', and not told, you dont have a chance to rectify things through that honest feedback.
