In five years time, some CTO will review the mysterious outage or technical debt in their organisation.

They will unearth a mess of poorly written, poorly -documented, barely-functioning code their staff don't understand.

They will conclude that they did not actually save money by replacing human developers with LLMs.

Lemmy (handshake) Fear of AI

Honestly, you guys sound exactly like people afraid of the computer in the '90s.

You'll only develop incompetence in the new tool.

@themurphy In this case, the new tool requires no real competence to use. This is in fact one of the main reasons the quality of the work it produces is currently shit.

[-] themurphy@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

It's only shit, if you don't know how to use it. I've automated 15% of my work with scripts I wouldn't have been able to without it.

That could be said of any tool as well, it ultimately comes down to the competence of the person using it, even if that's a hammer or frying pan.
