people might joke but this is where the IT industry is headed and nobody is safe. it doesn't matter if you are good or bad, you are just another commodity. just look at how many engineering jobs were cut in the past 18 months. Oracle is now reporting it will cut 30k jobs. there is no regulation in place and by the time our politicians wake up there will be nothing left. once it was a thriving industry and now it is on the brink of collapse. the change is real whether you like it or not
@nixCraft it feels like there will be a lot of work for guaranteed-no-ai-produced code shops soon.

It's wild having grown up in a time when massive amounts of effort was put into encouraging young people to become software engineers and get into computer science, and that cohort finally reaches an age where they're entering the job market or are well into a career and suddenly it's "Ehh, never mind. Sorry you built your life around this, we don't need your skills now."

@nixCraft can't wait for the collapse and subsequent rebuild of new companies without the crud and hopefully without the VC and billionaires.
At some point we collectively need to find the light right?

2028: ex-self-checkout supervisor, fired for 'not being attentive enough'.
Or maybe they will be issued guns and will be allowed to 'shoot them thieves' for <15$. -

@nixCraft yes, but also even a cashier at Costco should make a living wage and not have their job looked down upon.

Software engineering went from an expert domain (specialized solutions) to an amateur domain (anything goes) to a factory worker domain (more is more).
In that sense, AI slopping is just a continuation of the current "good enough if it sells" approach.
The people had a choice and they chose.
️@christianrickert @nixCraft many businesses that weren't shipping tech products were treating software as a cost centre (think banking), this has just broadened the scope of what's a cost centre
-
@nixCraft It should be noted that AI is not the reason, but the excuse.

@nixCraft But how are the software companies going to make money? "We launched yesterday, why do we have no customers?" "Well, another company using the same expensive AI tool used it to scan our app and recreate it, selling for cheaper."
