That sounds eerily familiar.
I can tell you which of those activities brings me joy and that I want to do more of. Hint: it’s not the one that requires deliberating the subtleties of the English language.
You no longer have direct control of output, you have to give thoughtful feedback to try to get what you’re looking for.
No value judgement (in this post), but I am gobsmacked that so many programmers are willingly, even enthusiastically, opting to move into a management position.
Yes, extensive AI use can allow you to move quickly as a programmer. Congratulations! You’re now a manager. You now plan more and think at a higher level and do less of the detailed technical work. Your tech skills may atrophy. You delegate work but remain responsible for what happens on your “team”
I mean, the stone tablets it was written on would make a good weapon.
The only thing missing is some leather straps around pipes.
I have already heard of this happening second hand
Feel like I missed an event/post elsewhere
The country has a gambling problem
That’s because there are the people who are right…using Python. And then FORTRAN users, who I’m sure respond angrily with a Usenet post. 😈
A thing about watching the Olympics I really like is how no one ever tells me to bet on anything
I’m reviewing applications for a job I’m leading hiring on. I wonder if any of these people realize that when they feed the same prompt as 170 other people into chatGPT that it gives them all the same answers.
I have read the exact same sentence about power mapping in 100+ applications.
On further reflection, I would like to see the FDA release their Ba-wit-da-vegetable nutritional guidelines. I feel like this would be a watershed moment in the nation’s history.

I can honestly say I have no meaningful common ground with people going to Kid fucking Rock for nutritional advice.
I presume they’ll collect and openly publish their verification stats to demonstrate the great value they’re adding.
Yes. And the odds that any of that life have visited us is vanishingly small.
Then I guess we’ve just interacted with very different people in OSS. Most I’ve encountered in my two decades have been very concerned with respecting copyright and having theirs respected.
I don’t think you’ve been around enough OSS communities if you think they detest copyright. The whole point of the GPL is to weaponize copyright to force a way of working and sharing.
I don’t want to ban AI use outright, mostly because that’s practically unenforceable.
Speaking from experience, relying on it heavily for personal statements that should contain one’s passion, personality, and excitement just hurts your chances (and any human reading it). AI is a disadvantage here.
Reading through all the AI-generated sludge in our intern applications is just energy sucking. I hate it.
Those that were genuine in their excitement, regardless of grammar, were so much better.
AI just sucks the soul out of content.
Which is why it works so well for business communication 😈
I’m old enough to remember when Clinton’s “but I didn’t inhale” was a full-on controversy
Really feeling the support of those “allies on both sides of the aisle” right now
My quick answer would be that the LLM isn’t the only one reading and watching. Good dialogue and example to AI-using, would-be human contributors.
Agree and I have no idea how much human is in the loop here. I don’t know if this is real capability or some kind of avant-garde performance, but I have one takeaway: I have got to pay more attention so I actually know what these things are capable of. Ignoring it is at my own risk.
When they said AI was coming for programming jobs, I didn't think they meant creating stupid, conflict-driven drama too: github.com/matplotlib/m...
Seriously, launch all this AI-driven bullshit into the sun. Or give us a way to hold those behind these agents and their generated idiocy accountable.
The morning so far
Don’t forget a Puerto Rican performing is “Unamerican” because no-one can understand, so they did their own halftime show with the dude whose musical crowning achievement is “Bawitdaba” which can only be truly appreciated when listened to in its original methhead.
I literally don’t remember the last time the Super Bowl featured a halftime show of music in my collection.
