Ah, voluntoldment. We just had a big round at my workplace, but at least no one only a couple people up the chain are engaging with the autofellatory fiction that AI will pick up the slack. Even still, they canned the hypercompetent plant engineer that everyone liked, so half his team left and a couple of our projects are dead in the water because of it. /vent

The irony of using AI to write that lol

They have a point, but this is clearly an AI-generated output. The irony is not lost on me…

the efficiency gains from AI are real Citation needed. I’m an experienced solo developer who tried embracing the state of the art in agentic programming on a several month long non-trivial project. My income depends on this project succeeding so I’m not fucking around here looking for an excuse for ai to fail. I’m trying to keep up… My idea is that if this works, I want it working for me. The results were unimpressive at best. It feels very fast at first but the entropy is insidious and comes even faster. When you hit the wall where the agent stops being able to understand it’s own work and contextualise tasks in a meaningful way, you’re left with a pile of incomprehensible shit that kind of looks like code. You will have nothing. Nothing but a giant token bill, wasted time and a sense of shame.
