Was it ever? Even before llm, writing software, or at least web clients, was as easy as it can get.

Weird flex but ok

Also would like to add, that you might experiance bugs on "local env" while it will work on AWS.

IDK, I never fancied using local emulators for stuff like the cloud, as others have pointed out, for UT you can mock cloud services, and for localdevelopment you should intercat with the cloud.

Hiding bad system design behind another docker container will not push you to the right direction, but the opposite.

In addition this is def vide-coded (50k loc in one week) so I don't see how can one trust this even.

Agent assisted coding is just vibe-coding in disguise. You still only glance over the code "just so it won't be considered vibe-coding", but at the end of the day, if you invest a proper amount of time reading and reasoning with the generated code - than it would take the exact same time, as if you would have wrote it by hand.

By not going through this process, you loose intent, familiarity, and opinions.

It's the exact same as vibe-coding.

TBH, I have found AI addictive, you use it for the first time, and its incredible. You get a nice kick of dopamine. This kick of dopamine, is decreasing with every win you get. What once felt incredible, is just another prompt today.

Those things don't excite you any more. Plus, the fact that you no longer exercise your brain at work any more. Plus, the constant feeling of FOMO.

It deflates you, faster.

Thats the gist of it. I've been trying to tell the founders that if we invest 2x more time on proper planning we will get 20x more outcomes in return. It's as simple as that, its not about just writing stuff and pushing, its about understanding the boundaries of what you make, how it talks with other stuff, and what are the compromises you are willing to take in return for faster speeds.

Totally, and im not saying otherwise. I'm saying that it takes the same amount of work to become a good engineering team even with AI. But it takes exponentially less work to bacome worse team. If they say C++ makes it much more easier to shut yourself in the foot, in a similar manner LLMs are hard to aim. If your team can aim properly, you are going to hit more targets more quickly, but if and when you miss, the entire team is in wheelchairs.

I wish. I have just witnessed a engineer on our (small) team push a 4k line change to prod at the middle of the night. His message was: "lets merge and check it after". AI can help good team become better, but for sure it will make bad teams worse.

I sorry friends, I think imma quit to farming :$
