i have yet to meet a single dev or office bee who was forced to use AI and now adopted that AI and saw their workload decrease.

this is one the greatest scam AI companies pulled on everyone while destroying jobs and environments.

@nixCraft If you don't check the work your risks on critical output just skyrocketed…….and don't get me started on agentic AI

@nixCraft And the thing is, at the very best, even when AI "helps" you, it doesn't mean *you* get to rest more, it means your bosses expect 2-3× output from you.

i was talking to one of the iOS devs where team size was slashed by 30% this year and everyone was forced to adopt AI. he said the stress is too much and in most cases i don't even know what claude is doing and i just blindly pass that shit now. his exact words were there is no way i can double check 5000 lines of junk produced in seconds. nobody can check it and he said he lost all interest in this craft. he is keeping his job to feed his kids

@nixCraft "he is keeping his job to feed his kids" - yes. I'm not completely without enjoyment for building software yet, but slowly getting there.

@nixCraft and now add this recent mind blowing statement by #GitLab's CEO:
"Software will be built by machines, directed by people. AI is the substrate on which future software gets built. Agents will plan, code, review, deploy, and repair. Humans still own the judgment that matters most: architecture, deep understanding of the customer problem, the tradeoffs that require taste."
As much as I like #AI as a technology, I am disgusted by the openly displayed greed

@nixCraft During 40 years of commercial Software development I found that I prefer working for small companies you could call startups. There I found freedom and creativity in small teams.
Usually after a few years they got bought by big players and they changed in a way that was not optimal for me so I started searching for new clients.
The AI hype sounds like one of those changed that would have made me change my job. I'm now 60 years old and won't change clients any more nor work with AI.

@nixCraft Yup know someone who is like that, he makes buck still and his boss desperately forces them to slop away and he just does not cares any longer.
Also he works in a place where security is extremely crucial... well and people wonder why I don't even want simple data like my favorite color anywhere any longer... future is bleak in software...

@nixCraft it's QA's problem now....
accountability displacement is crazy is in this day and age.Business idiots will ruin everything, I swear. I don't blame the dev in this scenario, but sheeeesh

@nixCraft even in a theoretical ideal scenario where AI is able to really increase productivity - management just demands even more insane deadlines, leading to a net increase in developer stress and burnout. It's a lose-lose for sure

@nixCraft The only thing I have found AI useful for is generating outlines for papers. That's it.

@nixCraft I will admit Claude has gone downhill from what it was a month or two ago lmao Opus 4.7 is basically a downgrade from 4.6

@riaschissl @nixCraft That's a long post from Gitlab, to inform us their stocks are down 57% over the last year and they don't make profits. That's why they fire people and beat the AI hype drum.

@nixCraft I’m fairly convinced at this point that a lot of companies who deploy these tools are actually just covering up that they are doing poorly. Telling shareholders that you are ”innovating workflows and improving efficiency” looks better than admitting you’re laying people off due to having liquidity issues.

@nixCraft What I fear is that this practice is so common that companies that where previously doing fairly well (like where I work) are now jumping on the band wagon due to fear of missing out.
