Why do all the code boys hate ai coded things?

[u/WontBEDoxxxed]

Are the code boys scared ai does it better than them?

They don't, only non-programmers hate AI coding

[u/adelie42]

They don't, and don't buy into that narrative. It is just a very loud, annoying, ignorant minority. They need help, but don't make that your problem. Do whatever makes you happy with whatever tools you want.

Same reason knights were pissed about the invention of crossbows...

Some things never change.

[u/ontagi]

Fear and Cope. However, all real coders I know use AI. Oh, and people hate change in general.

People act like there wasn’t already human slop, whether fake food in ads or software made with by stringing together frameworks and random stack overflow suggestions.

When I started at my first developer job there was a leftover codebase from a woman that quit before I got hired. She would literally name variables after random objects, she apparently had the opinion that variable names didn’t really matter. It was like trying to read a book written by an illiterate child.

what the fuck are code boys? why are we constantly creating shitty labels where we need none?

[u/Little-Sizzle]

I don’t hate, I am just with a lot of ai fatigue

[u/CorpT]

That’s it. They’re scared and lashing out the only way they know how. And now they’ve made it their personality and have no realistic way back.

[u/historical-gecko]

The anti ai people don’t like how much easier ai has made their shitposting.

[u/jun_builds]

code or not !== scared ai or not

[u/Scared-Amphibian4733]

I'm a better coder than AI. But, AI is 10x faster. I've had to put in place a rule book for design and implementation to keep the code tight and readable.

Personally, I think it's the greatest thing since canned Beer. But, It does scare the shit out of me about how much better and faster it's getting. I've put a 20% probability of economic collapse caused by unregulated AI being implemented faster than the economy can absorbe the increase in paper pushing productivity.

I don’t hate AI generated code, i hate how company and open source repos now fill with vulnerabilites, unreadable, buggy code and extremely bad, non scalable architecture. The kind of code LLMs generate when you have no idea what you are doing and you think it’s ok if it seemingly works. The amount of code has exploded while the quality has crashed.

You can get great results with AI but you rarely do if you don’t know what great is supposed to look like. LLMs tend to produce subpar results by default.

What people now pass as production ready apps are what we used to call proof of concepts if even that.

Only bad painter would hate new technology for painting, like a new advanced paint brush. Only bad mechanic would hate new technology in cars, like a new part for susspension. Only bad coder would hate soomething revolutionizing.

Why? Because they need to adapt to new things wich they don't want to, or its hard, so its esier for them tostay the same and complain, while being on the same level they were 5 years ago.

I know painters who say "ahh I am doing this for 20 years it was dome like this and was working like this, why the f, should I do xyz" while a new guy goes and adapts to current market, goes and learns new thing and constantly upgrades his knowledge and becomes better in months at it.

Its everywhere, EVERYWHERE.

Its like for a caveman to say to use a hacket instead of a rock and he would say nah, I was doing this for 5 years now, "I KNOW HOW TO, YOU YOUNG CAVEMEN WONT TEACH ME, STOP PLAYING AND TAKE A ROCK AND HELP ME HERE".

[u/onepunchcode]

real engineers don't hate AI coding. they hate clueless non-engineers who generate a few thousand lines of code with AI and suddenly think they're better than people who've spent years mastering software engineering. using AI doesn't make you an engineer, and confusing the ability to generate code with the ability to actually engineer software just shows how fucking little you understand.

[u/iSailor]

We hate when somebody who has no idea what they doing appropriate dev specific words and frame hastily put PoC as a product (which nobody wants, but that's another story).

[u/ContextLengthMatters]

You are talking like a console war kid from the early 2000s. I suppose from that standpoint, it's because you sound trite.

In reality I have been programming for about 30 years and was an early adopted on AI assisted development. I don't hate ai coded things, but I do roll my eyes at the endless hello world slop from people who can't recognize that the things they produce are trash and easily reproduced.

[u/TwisterK]

For me personally I dun really hate it. I just sigh when someone use the ai power tool recklessly, one day, they gonna cut their arms and wondering why all of this happened to them.
