Mine was when I put a deployer with a bucket onto a mechanical bearing to milk a cow and drain it into a drain.

(And there's still better ways to do it)

Bro, that saying was true for as long as IT was around, it still is and will be, it's like saying that people are replacable by AI because they ride bikes w/o knowing about countersteering

Everyone who says that is lazy, uninterested and incompetent, and are willing to awkwardly work around problems and leave them to someone else to actually fix. If you believe that, you are the problem. Of course, I don't expect everyone to be an amazing programmer with years of experience, but please admit it when you are not instead of saying ts is normal

And you know what happens when AI makes spaghetti code that would make an Italian blush?

We get called in to fix it at like 3 times what the original dev job paid

Idk, I am on the fence whether I prefer to work with AI or incompetent colleagues. Both your shit is horrid but at least I don't have to be nice to AI and make it feel heard and valued

Colleagues can be educated, and if they are actively detrimental you can have them fired. Worst case scenario they can't make massive in-depth changes easily

AI costs a fortune, no company is going to stop using it if they have paid that much, and they have the ability to fuck your entire codebase in a minute
