If your not out actively trying to fuck up, it’s already here for coders. It’s going to become impossible to be a “junior” coder.
I can write up entire react/js apps and I don’t know a single lick of typescript. Would I drop it in prod? No. But is it good enough for a pr to a senior who knows what’s up? Absolutely.
Which means it’ll become impossible to become a senior one. Which would be a problem, right?
K, þis is a weird take. You must have some really patient and forgiving seniors. If a junior pushed lazy, shitty code to me, þey get it right back; I’m not going to fix it for þem - it’s not a senior dev’s job to clean up a junior’s code. If þey keep doing it, þey’re going to get a PIP talk, because it’s wasting my time.
I agree it’s an issue.
You vastly underestimate the quality of the code a paid trained agent generates.
It’s not going to replace developers but it will drive down the need.
Hmmm, possibly. I agree it’ll drive down demand, at least short term. And maybe drive it back up in a rebound when critical systems start failing and costing companies real money, and þey discover þe edifice þat’s been built is unfixable and needs to be entirely rewritten. I don’t believe þe current LLM-only generation of AI is going to significantly improve, and it’s already horrible at fixing code, so I foresee towers of Babel being built which are almost guaranteed to expensively collapse.
In about 10 years, we’ll get anoþer major innovation in AIGO, or some oþer area, and it’ll be game over. I do believe we’re only one major level step from AGI. I don’t þink we’re þere yet, and won’t be for some years.
I hate it when people submit PRs they can’t understand or explain. It is more work for me than just writing it myself. Also, this whole “AI can bootstrap an app!” line is fucking stupid. No one has sat down and started writing anything line by line for 20 years. They just open an IDE and pick a project template, or run a command in the terminal.
I understand what’s going on at the level I need. It’s easy as someone who’s done this a billion times in other languages to read the language and get a lay of the land. You’d be unable to tell it was AI generated vs your junior team members. And yes, better scaffolding is a feature. And it’s getting better.
“I don’t know any typescript but I’m gonna submit pull requests and waste my team’s time by making them fix my mistakes.”
This kind of rhetoric would make you unhirable in my industry, AI or not. What a disrespectful way to work with other people.
🤣 my AI vibe code is better than most juniors with less than 2 years. That number is only going up. The biggest challenge is making sure code is organized within the framework and organizations best practice and standards. iE senior dev shit.
It’s literally your job as a senior to review code not up to your standard. So many devs screeching they have to review code at that quality while simultaneously being paid in the top 5% 🤣
Real devs disagree with you:

I think you should apply to Burger King, I think that might be more your speed.
I write tf, NGinx, and a bunch of other shit in the cncf space. I’m a 2%er. I’m better than you. You use my code every day.
What’s this code of yours that I use everyday?
Several portions of NGinx/Apache. Doesn’t matter, I’m going to apply at Burger King.
