And let's be honest: that's a thing we - as people in tech - brought on ourselves. We framed coding as this super hard and complicated thing that only super brains are able to do. Only we, the all-knowing nerds could do this magic! And so we pushed a lot of people out. And that's the people who now enjoy being able to "make" their cool little own apps and scripts.

@bleeptrack@vis.social Really good code libraries and easy frameworks/dev env, would make all coding easier for everyone. And also produce great code that is reliable and enjoyable to work with.

@CyReVolt@mastodon.social @kristinHenry@vis.social @bleeptrack@vis.social When people ask me I usually say: "It's not hard, it's just a lot, but you can have already fun with very little" So there needs to be some commitment.

@bleeptrack@vis.social The difference is most working AI code is stolen and most of it is very poor or doesn't work. A real human programmer (not a code monkey) will help you analyse your requirements, write a specification, do a design, code it (write the program, implementation) and test it. While keeping you in the loop. LLM/Generative AI is mis-sold. A scam and a technological dead end. The model collapses when it scrapes its own outputs.

@bleeptrack@vis.social I agree, you are watching a computer code and have no clue what's going on

@bleeptrack@vis.social totally agree, but if I could politely change one thing, they aren't slapping code together (😂👏) until it works, but until it appears to work. They have no idea what else it's doing that they haven't noticed or where it might break

@bleeptrack@vis.social This is along the same lines as "I've got Photoshop, I'm a graphic designer." As though the talent, skill, education and experience are optional downloads that are included in the price.

@bleeptrack@vis.social So, I often use AI to help me code (especially when I'm writing in a language or framework I'm not intimately familiar with). But, I find that a lot of the suggestions are, to be charitable, "incomplete". So, I'll look at the suggested code and respond back (much like I'm doing a code-review for a more-junior team member) and identify the deficiencies I see in the suggestion. Frequently, there's a back-and-forth until I'm happy with the final suggestion. I dunno how someone that's significatnly less experienced can get that kind of use out of AI coding-assistance.

@bleeptrack@vis.social Hiring implies delegating work to someone who knows how to do it. I would compare it to renting a tool. And if you cannot code you cannot interpret the tool's output, if it's correct or not.
