@movq@www.uninformativ.de People have not been fired over here. But I fully expect this to happen, too. Non-techies soldering together their own production shit is only consequent. I was actually wondering when this will happen. Product owners don’t need anyone else anymore, they can just be one-man shows. That’s what the AI bros jerk off to.

If certification won’t help us (heavily crumbling already from what I observe), it will go away completely and will be replaced with the Wild West. That’s my guess.

In case my employer makes it until then, I will have been gone in five years. At most. I should start looking for complete alternatives. The IT industry is absolutely poisoned and destroyed. I have no hopes left. We’re all fucked on so many levels.

The IT industry is absolutely poisoned and destroyed.

Yes, and here’s an example:

• https://chitter.xyz/@gabu/117441628277548428
  

I’m seeing exactly this effect in our stuff at work.

And human PR reviewers (in our company) are already completely burned out, because the AI dudes just dump all their shit on us. AI is an amplifier: If you already didn’t care about good code before AI, then you most certainly won’t start caring with AI, so the result is just a massive dumpster fire.

I suppose you can use AI to produce good code, but this takes so much time, effort, and money, you might as well code it yourself.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org @david@daiwei.me I suppose the only sane thing you can do is what Lyse said:

I will have been gone in five years. At most. I should start looking for complete alternatives.

I’m looking for alternatives as well, but … what would that be? Not a clue. Actually, no, I have a lot of ideas – there are so many useful things that I would be able and willing to do. Only problem is, those jobs don’t pay the bills. Haha.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Unfortunately. Maybe become some sort of craftsman dealing with physical objects in the real world. :-?
