I have been reading a lot that 90% of their code is AI generated, companies are pushing developers to use AI as it makes them fast. But I am a little cautious of believing them. Is it true? Also sorry I didn’t find a css career subreddit so I am asking here.
You’re lucky it hasn’t happened to you. Yet. I never was a “I’ll never use AI you fucks” type person, more of a “AI written code is not trustworthy by default and should be subject to human review, especially if it touches critical systems, to ensure it’s secure and won’t just blindly wipe out production” type. Even that didn’t agree with their stance.
My former boss literally said to me “AI is so advanced that you do not need to see the code to write it anymore”. That is not true, willfully ignorant, and the equivalent of slamming on the gas on the freeway and closing your eyes. Fuck anyone who believes that.
Well, I don’t have a problem using AI. But I also don’t work for big tech companies with the kind of culture who push it on you. Also, I’m collecting an unemployment check after being laid off because the company can’t afford two developers anymore. So I dunno how lucky I am.
Your former boss is an idiot! Haha
He is! He vibe coded a shitty app, got it on the App Store, and then fancied himself a bona fide developer without having any recent training or experience.
What does his app do? 🤣
It’s since been taken down for who knows what reason, but it was a basic network troubleshooting app. Pings, traceroutes, ASN lookups, that sort of thing. Really simple stuff that a dev with actual experience could probably cobble together in a weekend. He took months prompting Claude.
