Sure, that’s why Google made an exclusivity deal with wikipedia instead of reddit to train their ai for any organic user level reviews/discussions on anything.

Appreciate the insights. In all my years as a programmer, I was never the tdd kind of guy, and looks like it has now come to bite me in the ass. I need to learn how to write tests and validate/write my own tests to the code. I’m still pretty new to all this, so I’m yet to be in a position to face the long term consequences

Not stopping coding altogether, but if I use AI the right way, then I can keep up my velocity while also taking time for manual programming projects alongside.

Good for you. Yeah skill atrophy is a real concern, and I’m afraid no matter how much I try to avoid it, there’s a real and significant chance of that happening. I could look at it as similar to forgetting the syntaxes because I can look them up, but I think it’s a lot more serious than that.

That would work if there is such a thing as justice in this world. The reality is that companies don’t give a shit, and you’ll be jobless clutching to your ideals. My compromise is that ok I’ll use AI and deliver stuff for you, but I’ll only do it in a way that benefits me as well. I won’t lose my identity as a python developer to use your ai.

That’s an interesting approach! I’ll look into moth, thank you!

Glad to know there is somebody else sharing my feelings on this. Even with ai critical comments, there’s still some great comments here. I cross posted this to experienced_devs and there a bunch of useful comments there as well.

I have 18 years of programming experience, this is not about not knowing how to code. It’s about using a new technology effectively without losing your identity as a senior programmer. May be you have the ultimate say in your company, and can stave off agentic coding until the bubble bursts, but I don’t have that luxury. Agentic coding has fucked up all output velocity expectations, so even if you don’t use them, you’re still expected to output at the new velocity, which would just about kill mj love for programming.

Is kiro platform agnostic, or tied into AWS? I’ll check that out, thanks

Big as in an application with more than one scope. Yeah don’t go by their marketing material. I hate the agentic coding trend, but I’m not losing my job by not being able to adopt to it. I already have a reputation of AI hater in my company lol.

At least it’s better than just asking the agent to build something without any control over it, which is what a lot of junior devs are doing these days.

How is open spec for Greenfield apps? I’ve heard it’s best suited for existing code. I’ll try the ‘in the future’ heads up, thanks

It is ‘leava all coding to agents’, but at least it’s ‘leave most of the design control to me’. I was, and still am, and old style programmer yelling at AI to get off my lawn, but like any new technology, I’m trying to do my best to learn and make best use of it so that I grow as a developer even though it is meant to ‘save money for the company’. It’s here whether I like it or not, so I’making sure I don’t lose my job because of it, while still being employable when it inevitably crashes to the ground.

It’s like a CEO of a company making bank at the expense of the company future.

Could somebody help? I’m running arch with plasma, and I’m unable to find this app.

Funny thing is the false positives are always 80-90+% confidence.

lol that was the previous set up. I thought since their AI is integrated now, id speed things up and go from the long delays to something more instantaneous. Now it’s so bad with the false positives I don’t even bother checking alerts anymore. I need to go back again.

lol jokes write themselves

Yeah I totally get your point. You’re preaching to the choir here. Funny thing is, even if my daughter comes across anything like that, she just assumes that’s normal. There’s a show she watched where a boy had two dads, and she never even asked me why there are two dads lol. My wife got into the YouTube deepend on many topics, so it’s pretty much impossible to change her mind about pretty much anything. Any time I try to go against her in any of the parenting choices, I immediately become a ‘bad dad’. At this point I’m smuggling contraband for my daughter.

She actually grew up here, but my wife is a ‘bit’ conservative, and doesn’t want to expose our daughter to the ‘bad parts’ of the western culture. That’s fine, but too much of anything is not a good thing, and it’s causing our daughter to grow up sheltered. (for instance, Craig of the Creek used to be her favorite show a couple of years ago, but my wife found out it has some queer representation in it, and banned her from watching it. I have to pick my battles, so I can’t argue with her for every single thing). Her friends are already starting to make fun of her for how ‘ignorant’ she is on some topics. I’m in a tough spot, but trying to do the best with what cards I’ve been dealt.
