No you misunderstand me. I support such a view but cannot hold it because my pace at work is so much fast. And hand coding like this will make personal projects s slow and choreful with no visible progress. Like where is the joy in that?

But this way you move way slowly even on personal projects, like you will not even get the basic UI for the app done in a few days? Is that OK for you?

When it comes to cost per implemeting SPEC, agents are far cheaper than human salary. So, it's not going to go well. That said thankfully there's no way of measuring a good SPEC yet. If there is that will collapse the SWEs profess

Education is not knowledge either. Today market most directly pays for skilled work that increases revenue/profit. Correlation drops after that. It's a struggle I've been trying to reason for myself too.

You are making a wrong assumption that more knowlege leads to more comp, it never has or will.

Has there been anytime, when senior experts in a field, are consistently maintaining this time it's different? You can ignore this at your own peril.

The root cause if of course AI's role in loss of power on compensation (coding as a skill is no longer as valuable), and loss of power in labor vs capital. It's hard to face this, specially for the one oasis in the job market that

The industry should give more security in exchange for reduced pay. We need a social movement for this.

This could have a shot if we also recommend to companies that, they should convert overall pay to ~2/3 for employees, and with the 1/3 extra hire more people. so every company that opts in has no higher people budget, but generate

Someone is not let go with the announcement "you are replaced with AI". I know many teams that have downsized, or are not hiring after someone left. There is a reason why leverage of employees has drastically gone down. I myself a

Wtf.. nauseating to see promise of ai proof roles. No way to guarantee that and irresponsible. Spam shit.

One idea we have discussed in my network is if as an industry reset we all said CS should become a 2X to 6X minimum wage career. So say 30k beginner to 100K senior/lead. This would keep many more jobs available and open. But I guess it

This is not happening at least for 25 years, is what seniors I trust tell me.

I have asked more than a few dozen people on this, and the answer after some probing is that no other knowledge based career exists that one can move to which is not exposed to AI. While many talk about moving to a labour oriented career, n

Does not matter? I think the high compensation will be what will drive the compliance.

Noble thought, but words are empty. Have you perchance written up anything specific? The only one who's written thus is Marx, but those ideas has not found broad socital support.

Nursing perhaps? It seems like caring for other people would be useful even in an otherwise runaway AI world.

I guess a long way from "fucking loom smashing" then. Makes this whole thread moot.

When you say sabotage, how exactly? Or is it limited to refusal to use LLM, which is a strategy, but more like becoming a hobbyist programmer then.

How long can you afford to stay in this phase? Is there some framework you can suggest where this path works?
28.
by orangecoffee 6mo ago
the original post is an example of how. Every programmer is discovering slowly, for their own usecases, that the agent can actually do it. This happens to an individual when they give it a shot without reservation..

by orangecoffee 6mo ago
No this is still the "bargaining/negotiating" phase thinking. After this is when depression hits when for your usecases you see that the code quality and security audit is very good.
