@nixCraft as long as ai learns from what we feed it with, ai will be just a big screenshot of human stupidity, so i dont expect to be anywhere near the level of a mediocre pro

@nixCraft You can substitute "Low Code" for "AI" and that comic is still true. 😭

@nixCraft it's been going on for ages, could easily replace AI in final panel with k8s, cloud, devOps, Java, TypeScript, serverless, etc etc. there are many sad engineers!

@nixCraft XKCD had this right years ago: https://xkcd.com/1838/

@nixCraft I'm not an engineer, but I understand and deeply feel the connection between "complexity" and "sad" – do I still get to be sad, too, or am I relegated to shut up and be a user? 🤔

@nixCraft i can confirm the post-AI pile makes me even sadder than the old pile. at least the old pile had somewhat readable code.

Code written by AI is pretty crappy, and it'll take a LOT for it to get much better at all.

@nixCraft The sadder engineers seem to be peeing on the old pile of complexity.

@nixCraft Still the Nvidia CEO claims “Coding is dead. Don’t bother to learn to code.”
