Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

There is an old principle in software development not to make the GUI too pretty until the back end works, because managers and customers will think its ready when they can click around buttons with nice shading and animations. I think slopware is like that. People see the demo that appears to work and don't see what maintaining it and integrating it with other systems is like.
When the bosses say “good” they don’t mean that it is better in any way. What they mean is that it is “good” enough to replace a human worker.
it turns out that people who can’t code make terrible judges of how good ai is at coding
The entire AI boom is management cumming all over their own faces at the thought of firing every human worker.
Not any different than offshoring devs. Saves money short-term, cost savings look great, managers get promotions, and they move on from that garbage code base that was created
don’t need to kink shame but yeah, pretty much… that and rich idiots who listen to excited grifters talking about how it’s the future… so fomo.
now in the future “ai free” is going to be a huge feature
10x, bro, trust me.
We cant estimate how much effort it will take to fix or maintain it. That's the problem
What you’re saying is there will be lucrative billable hours to fix it when this all shakes out? I guess short term pain…
Your not wrong, but I don't like that much uncertainty in my life.
