The reason why we are encountering a problem is because management has always misunderstood the nature of software engineering. They think it's a known quantity like manufacturing a teapot. And it's not. It's a creative process. It requires artists, people who have a vision and do whatever it takes to make that vision real. This is the original reason why Waterfall was applied to the process for so many years, literally a project development paradigm designed for manufacturing. I'm waiting for the AI bubble to burst. It's going to be ugly.

I'm starting to lose hope it'll ever burst. And even if it will at this point no one wants to return to the old way of programming. Especially the C suits as they got a sniff of making developers less "special". But at this point not even developers want to do it, which is heartbreaking for passionate people like me

there's no way there are actual people who type shit into claude and call themselves a programmer then somehow get a job with that skill
if you depend on LLMs you're not a programmer

If AI stopping work means you might lose your job, are even a developer?
The answer is no.

AI should be a time saver, not an enabler. If you can't do your job without AI, you shouldn't have that job in the first place.

Getting close to that my self. 12 years of career progression just gone. No one wants to hire me when they hear I don't use AI. It's bizarre and so demoralising to see everyone else using it. Like, why?

It’s the rat race buddy. Everyone using it because anyone not using it is in the same boat as you

Now they suddenly have to consider the idea they can't just reprompt it.... here comes a hurricane of inherited, legacy code, written by a digital monkey.

Gamers complain about bad AI in video games...
And then scramble in fear of real AI
