The most surreal thing about AI coding shit taking on is the revelation that so many people who do this thing that I love, seem to have no care for the craft at all.

The most surreal thing about AI coding shit taking on is the revelation that so many people who do this thing that I love, seem to have no care for the craft at all. Even people who I would have pointed at, years ago, as those who clearly care. And I know it has always been Just A Job for many people, but holy shit, do you even care a little bit?
We humans are not merely bad at it, we have people who have been doing the work with no desire to be good at it in the first place. -

Some people actually like it, you jerks.

@pikhq how will they make a billion dollars off the rest of us then though

@annarcana @pikhq IME that depends on the company (namely the type of work/how expressive they let you be). That said, I found it helped to have personal projects that were exciting and completely unrelated to what I did at work.
AIUI one of the marketed features of Java (to management, not programmers/users) was to be able to treat programmers as interchangeable — sadly I don't have a citation, but it explains the lack of features like goto and operator overloading. With that in mind it's unsurprising that despite a decent amount of experience with Java for school/work don't find it enjoyable.
(On the flipside, people who do programming as "just a job" shouldn't be looked down on, but even if LLMs weren't unethical, LLM-generated code lacks the professionalism I'd expect.)

People get jagged and cynical.
At the end if it's not your business why should you care? -
