Oh I see. So if someone just reads books AND actual code then they can become experts, got it. And by the way LLMs are also trained with probably hundreds of thousands of actual games not just books
Oh right. But if all you do is reading programming books you are an amazing programmer? Where is all the training and practice LLMs did to become so good at coding?
It's very nerve-racking for people who like to have a deep understanding of everything they ship. A modernization project that would take you 2 months now can be done in a week or less because you don't need to go deep into the business logic to replicate it and instead you can just focus on designing the boundaries and interfaces properly. Then like the article mentions, just create a good test harness to test parity as much as you can. I was feeling very conflicted about this myself, but then I thought: I have these other systems I have to maintain on a daily basis and I also don't understand the internals and business logic that well because I wrote them years ago and haven't changed much. I just rely on the test suite if something needs to be changed or the code structure if I need to see how something in particular works.
Well clearly not everyone is saying it's a bubble (you maybe?) so I don't know where that leaves us. Also, IIRC there are massive lawsuits underway so there's definitely people doing s.th. about it
Could this be the start of the AI bubble bursting? There are so many rumors going around about data centers not being built, GPUs waiting to be installed, debt, and much more. Crazy times.
Such a corny take. People should have kids when they know for sure they want to become parents. If they are unsure because the life they want for themselves seems incompatible, then it becomes a gamble. So many miserable parents out there who hide their experiences because they are afraid of social punishment or because they need to convince themselves that this permanent life-altering decision was the right one. That's my take as someone who for 35 years didn't want kids and one day woke up knowing for sure I wanted a kid in my family.
As an employee of a big tech company doing this, it's all fear mongering. We are being told that if everyone doesn't use these tools, our competitors will wipe the floor with us because they are using them and will ship features 10x faster. But many engineers are suspicious as well.
Many of us are literally being forced to use it at work by people who haven't written a line of code in years (VPs, directors, etc) and decided to play around with it during a weekend and blew their minds.
