Sounds like maybe you might have some mixed feelings about becoming more effective with ai, but then at the same time everyone else is too so the praise youre expecting is diluted.
replyI see it all the time now too. People have no frame of reference at all about what is hard or easy so engineers feel under-appreciated because the guy who never coded is getting lots of praise for doing something basic while experienced people are able to spit out incredibly complex things. But to an outsider, both look like they took the same work.
I am also torn because obviously the LLMs have a lot of value but the amount of misuse is overwhelming. People just keep pasting slop into story descriptions that no one can keep up. There should be guidelines at work places to use AI responsibly.

Damn, that’s what you call being allergic to the hype train? This type of hypocritical thinly-veiled praise is what is actually unbearable with AI discourse.
I don’t think it is controversial that AI tools are good enough at crud endpoints that it is totally viable to just let it run through the grunt work of hooking up endpoints to a service and then you can focus on the interesting aspect of the application which is exactly that service.
