    lol, I’d love to see the fucking ruin of the world we’d live in if current LLMs replaced senior developers. Maybe it’ll happen some day, but in the meantime it’s job security! I get to fix all of the bugfuck crazy issues generated by my juniors using Copilot and ChatGPT.

        And when “web frameworks means we don’t need web developers anymore” and when “COBOL is basically plain English, so anyone can code, so we don’t need specialists anymore”.

      I was helping someone with their programming homework, every time copilot suggested anything he just blindly added it, and every time i had to ask him “and why do you need those lines? What do they do?”, and he could never answer…

      Sometimes those lines made sense, other times they were completely irrelevant to the problem, but he just add the suggestions on reflex without even reading them

      I had to pull aside a developer to inform him that he “would be” violating our national security by pasting code online to an AI and that there were potentially repercussions far beyond his job.

      He’s a lot slower now, but the code is better.
