there will be tons of job for de-vibing code bases made out of AI slop mess, after AI slop crash happend in near future

[dch@bsd.network]

@nixCraft there will be tons of jobs for lawyers suing companies for breaches of privacy and information leakage

[usuario@instancia.org]

@nixCraft I call this The Great Rewriting
you’ve read it here first

[gimmechocolate@bark.lgbt]

@nixCraft Job prospects for coders have never looked better

[drwho@masto.hackers.town]

@nixCraft After most of us are out on the streets.

[thomastraynor@social.linux.pizza]

@nixCraft and for professional writers to clean up the documentation. Then the architects, testers and project management.

[paul_ipv6@infosec.exchange]

@nixCraft

going to be a lot like cleaning up the burning kuwaiti oil fields after desert storm, good money but definitely earning. also, judicious use of explosives may be the most efficient way to put the fire out.

[nske@ravenation.club]

@nixCraft Is that before or after everyone de-reacts all the websites that never needed to be a react app?

[elfin@mstdn.social]

@paul_ipv6 @nixCraft I say just roll the code back

[atanase@mastodon.social]

@nixCraft I am not going to mention any names, but there was a giant corporation in the US that traded in oil and polluted the waters with giant oil spills, and then formed an environmental division to clean it up (for a hefty fee, of course).

[dennisqr@infosec.exchange]

@nixCraft oh, yes

[radioazureus@mastodon.social]

I have a distinct feeling that you have an overfascination for LLM slop and hallucinated AI

Relax take a deep breath, drop down your ️ rate, chill

@nske @nixCraft de-reacting a site right now as we speak. Manager threw up his hands, said "untangle this unholy mess so that I can actually update it" and here we are.

[okajin@ludosphere.fr]

@nixCraft I'm still waiting for this crash... I'm tired of managers having only the word "AI" in their mouths and enforcing it in any workflow and process

[iamdannyboling@mstdn.social]

@RadioAzureus @nixCraft

[tomoyo@tech.lgbt]

@nixCraft yeah, i figure there's two ways to play software these days.

option one, you put quality first, all the time, it is the core of everything.

option two, you compete with the entire world to have the sloppiest slop thrown out to the world the soonest and cheapest, erasing all your customer loyalty and competitive differentiation ... and then, your margins.

[birkenator@mastodon.social]

@usuario @nixCraft there will be no rewriting, just like companies are not refactoring today.

[worik@mastodon.social]

@tomoyo @nixCraft

Option one, go broke

Option two, get rich

[eljorgeabides@mastodon.world]

@tomoyo @nixCraft

This has always been the way. Everyone starts by wanting to do it right, then the scope creeps and the deadline doesn't move so they have to just get it working.

Tech debt

[josemachete79@mastodon.social]

@nixCraft can't wait! Grab popcorn!

[tomoyo@tech.lgbt]

@worik @nixCraft see you say that, and maybe you can attract investment and make cashmoney at the IPO, and maybe even clean up later, but that's probabalistic chance at success at best and your firm is full of people from the slop culture; that's hard to change.

your competitors can LLM a service up just as well as you, agents can migrate your customers off your platform, agentic buyers will care little about the power of your brand, and your moat is all gone
