They say AI isn’t profitable.

@stefano while some cry, others sell handkerchiefs

@kzimmermann this is nice!

AI-generated integrated systems config & procedural advice is generally crap dressed up nice.
Some of it might work, but finding what does is like trying to pick a few grains of salt from a bucket of sand.

@stefano Post-AI cleanup as the biggest growth industry in tech

@uriel Seriously. It's getting more and more common. They need servers -> use AI to tell them how to configure them -> make a mess -> "aaahhh we need the cloud as servers don't work!"
@stefano suddenly, I feel like my position at work is not under threat by AI. LOL.

@stefano lololol Now THIS gives me hope.

@stefano that's what I'll probably live of in the future, as a developer. But I'm not happy at all: fixing vibed code is an horrible task. It's not like fixing code written by an intern: there's intent in that, it probably tried to understand the problem and then (failed at?) deliver a solution.
In the case of vibed code, there's only a list of example inputs and attended results: the generated code may be everything, it's probably easier to rewrite it from scratch, a price the customer will not want to pay, because "it worked perfectly until now!"... -
@stefano Similarly one just luuurves self-taught "coders".

Everyone should at minimum double or triple their wages when they want everyone back to fix everything they broke when they thought they could exploit and get rid of every competent and ethical employee. -

I love posts like this!

@stefano A solid half of the side gigs I have been doing lately have been to unfuck AI messes with actual solutions.

@stefano Make sure to charge them double
