The web developer who wrote some early parts of Django and has reserved the top comment spot tells us to surrender to the inevitability.
There are other areas of software, and given the multitude of horrible websites that use 100% CPU and look ugly AI does not work even for web development!
This is defeatist propaganda.
- hax0ron3 5d agoThe existence of the websites that use 100% CPU probably has more to do with the fact that humans spent years building software ecosystems and business practices that make websites that use 100% CPU than it does with any inherent limitations in AI. AI is just following the practices that it sees in existing codebases and that have wide adoption.
- simonw 5d ago> given the multitude of horrible websites that use 100% CPU and look ugly AI does not work even for web development! Yes, that's my point. You need taste and engineering skill to build websites that are good even with AI assistance. My comment here is meant to be the opposite of defeatist propaganda! I'm arguing that those of us with skills and experience are becoming more, not less valuable.
- 1234-asdv 5d agoIt is strange then that those with skills and experience apparently refrain from building websites, since all AI websites are worse than any non-SEO website before 2023. There isn't a single one that is good, and one that was built by a web framework developer whom I shall not name uses 100% CPU for a static website. The point of this is that AI is unnecessary and makes products worse even with experienced people operating the AI.
