So the entire #devcommunity loves to be dependent on big tech for making decissions and doing their jobs. So relying on #frameworks and tools made by bigtech is not enough no we love to get to choose from 5 big players to do the job we loved. I don&#39;t get that. Thats to be honest just a big trap we are going inside. No one will ever be able to replicate a system that big tech did with #ai on their own. The problem was in the past and nowadays always the compute that has to power those imennse datacenters to give you the answere to most of the times obvious questions like &quot;can you generate the code to compare two dates&quot; or &quot;hey chatgpt can you please center the div for me&quot; Really #techies i don&#39;t get what makes you think that this is a future we want to face where 5 companies decide if you have a successfull product or not.

@m3tti@functional.cafe I'm not a professional developer so I'm a little bit biased, but I don't understand the appeal of frameworks. The time you spend learning what it is in fact a new language and abstraction is better spent mastering what you're already using. And despite that the framework is a constantly moving target. We're not learning tools to make things anymore, we're learning tools to make tools to make more tools, abstraction over abstraction instead of focusing on the problem at hand and solve it. GenAI is making things worse.

@m3tti@functional.cafe Maybe itbis a bit silly to answer to this question with a meme. Anyway, I think that there are at least two kinds of developers: who depicted on the left side of attached meme (and who happy to turn open software into the open #slopware and perform other … uhm … strange things). And who on the right side of this meme. Also, I read in someones blog about another way to classify developers: there are one who are "Builders" — they just want to see the working thing, no matter how ugly it is inside; they didn't like programming and see it as a sad way to make the desired things. And there are "Artists" — people who have fun from the process (of programming); sometimes they build something as a result, sometimes not, but in both cases it is a well-spent time. So, I think, the folks like in the left side of meme and the "Builders" will be happy to replace joys of programming with LLMs and other big tech dependencies, bc they don't see these joys, first.
