If, 24 months from now, most people aren't coding, it'll be because people like him cut jobs to make a quicker buck. Or nickel.

Well if it works, means that job wasn't that important, and the people doing that job should improve themselves to stay relevant.

Edit: wow what a bunch of hypersensitive babies. I swear, y'all just allergic to learning or something. I just said people need to improve themselves to stay relevant, and people freak out and send me death threats. What a joke.

job wasn’t that important

I keep telling you that changing out the battery in the smoke alarm isn't worth the effort and you keep telling me that the house is currently on fire, we need to get out of here immediately, and I just roll my eyes because you're only proving my point.

Sure, believe what you want to believe. You can either adapt to what's happening, or just get phased out. AI is happening whether you like it or not. You may as well learn to use it.

I get why you're enthusiastic about AI. This whole comment reads like it was AI generated.

[-] FlorianSimon@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 months ago

It has already happened... And the results are a bit... "Cringe"

[-] TheGalacticVoid@lemm.ee 5 points 2 months ago

You can adapt, but how you adapt matters.

AI in tech companies is like a hammer or drill. You can either get rid of your entire construction staff and replace them with a few hammers, or you can keep your staff and give each worker a hammer. In the first scenario, nothing gets done, yet jobs are replaced. In the second scenario, people keep their jobs, their jobs are easier, and the house gets built.

Yup. Most of us aren't CEOs, so we don't have a lot of say about how most companies are run. All we can do is improve ourselves.

For some reason, a lot of people seem to be against that. They prefer to whine.

Define "works"?

If you're a CEO, cutting all your talent, enshittifying your product, and pocketing the difference in new, lower costs vs standard profits might be considered as "working".

[-] Cringe2793@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Hmmm maybe you're misunderstanding me.

What I mean is "coding" is basically the grunt work of development. The real skill is understanding the requirements and building something efficiently. Tbh, I hate coding.

What tools like Gemini or ChatGPT brings to the table is the ability to create small, efficient snippets of code that works. We can then just modify it to meet our more specific requirements.

This makes things much faster, for me at least. If the time comes when the AI can generate more efficient code, making my job easier, I'd count that as "works" for me.

Oh perhaps the CEOs are the ones that need to be replaced?

[-] Cringe2793@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Yup, notice nowhere did I say they shouldnt. People read and infer what they want

Nah that was just a bad CEO

Define "works."

Because the goals of a money-hungry CEO don't always align with those of the workers in the company itself (or often, even the consumer). I imagine this guy will think it worked just fine as he's enjoying his golden parachute.
