There are many examples of buggy and vuln-ridden non-AI-hallucinated software. Never been a rush to fix them.
While we engineers understand how to judge and evaluate AI solutions, I am not sure Business Owners (BO) care.
BO's are ok with a certain percentage of bugs/rework/inefficiency/instability. And the tradeoff of eliminating (or marginalizing) Engineering may be worth the increased percentage of unfavorable outcomes.
Technology that controls software that keeps people alive, controls infrastructure, etc., uhhhh I don't think so. I guess we're just waiting for the first news story of someone's pacemaker going haywire and shocking them to death because the monitoring code was vibed through to production.
I don't feel much better ( as someone who has spent their career in consumer electronics )
I think it's large. Think about the software that goes into something like air travel - ATC, weather tracking, the actual control software for the aircraft... I am aware that nothing is perfect, but I'd at least like to know that a person wrote those things who could be held accountable.
B2B AI LLM vibe-SaaS that has a 10% chance to become profitable and a 10% chance to gift away all money invested into the business ever while leaving founders on the receiving end of 100 lawsuits.
Usually no one really care. Target is to close a ticket, not to make a good software.
"Works fine on my machine" - heard this many times. But user don't have a beefy m4 pro machine with ultra fast fiber. No one care.
I havent heard that around serious engineers
I'm overjoyed that you only encountered serious "engineers".
My professional experience is that at least 3/4 of the people riding software should not be because they write horrible code horribly.
But since I live in a place where you have to pass licensing exams to call yourself an "engineer", Maybe my experience is different than yours
> I'm overjoyed that you only encountered serious "engineers".
Nowhere did I say this. At all. I said I havent heard 'works on my machine' said by serious engineers. That does not mean that I have ONLY met serious engineers.
