in one of my classes they invited a guy to talk to us about ai use in programming. he basically admitted that he only actually codes when claude is down… he called it coding “the old-fashioned way”

I can give the same anectdote from my company. I’m one of the few who don’t use LLMs and it’s driving me insane to hear “hey can you help me, I asked AI and it couldn’t really help me”

Our company is demanding we work 10x faster (because competitors are doing the same) with vibe-coding. The code its making is shit but does work in the moment, which is enough for management. Afaik most of companies either already do this or are about to. may be I should retrain as an electrician or a plumber.

Same here, everyone goes crazy for it and looks at me with suspicion for not using it. And I look at them with rage when I ask them what something does because it looks sus af and they hit me with “idk, the AI wrote it, it said it had a good reason”. Or when my team lead tells me to work on his AI generated library that we ended up replacing with a 150 line class, I have no clue how he managed to generate an entire project around nothing… So far the only actually good uses we found for it is as a companion for PRs, because the AI occasionally spots bugs relating to the bloated archaic libraries we use, and for app documentation, because we have 20 years of technical debt and lost knowledge that every human so far has refused to sit through, so an AI summary is better than nothing.
