Thats me these days, I’m now spending most of my day understanding the code AI wrote, because being new to both the company and the tech stack, I dont even have enough context to know what needs to be done and sometimes even how it needs to be done I can’t match the speed at which AI works, and the company won’t let me spend enough time to work at it on my own, so pushing AI generated PR’s is what my career has been reduced to before I could even establish myself as a experienced engineer. How am I supposed to grow in this field if I don’t directly work with the code anymore, and what gates the promotion process when even new grads have access to the same AI models, is there even going to be a career in a few years or will the AI bubble burst and we go back to the way things were or at least back to a reasonable level of AI usages

451·24 hours agolol the fact that he chose to bitch about it in the company Slack openly proves that the board was right to push him out, like what did he expect, that the remaining employees that haven’t been laid off yet will rally to support him, This guy has lost his marbles, the ones who took the $30,000 severance to quit must be very happy right now

Work Reform@lemmy.world•Wait, you mean workers *don't* love the automatic dumbass machines that constantly threaten their jobs?
5·4 days agoExactly my company is heavily pushing for full agentic development and while that does save time a bit, it comes at a cost, for one I’m no longer getting the deeper understanding of the codebase that I would if I did the work myself, and secondly the number of PRs that AI pushes out creates a review bottleneck because people can’t keep up, but management doesn’t care, they’d rather you push something out fast and if it breaks things it’s your job on the line not the AI subscription.

I hate the AI push as any one, but it is better than google searching and having to click on shitty ad infested websites and then wade through pages of useless info for the one paragraph you actually need, and since I mostly search for topics I know a bit about I can catch most hallucinations, and if I’m serious about what I’m looking into I’ll go directly to the source but for casual Google searches I think AI is much better these days

Most of my best AI chat rabbit holes happen at 1 am, somehow I am super interested in learning about every topic under the sun after midnight

Work Reform@lemmy.world•Profit over people is a failed system
2·17 days agoI think with the push for full AI automation this will just get worse as they will try to replace as many humans as possible for profit in every industry and then have these desperate unemployed people reduced to bonded labourers

Not a thing in most of Asia that I know of, but it should be, I could have used a break from the rat race for a bit when I was younger and maybe put some real thought on what I want to do with my life
Yup the word hot is used to specify the heat level, spicy just means it uses various spices in it, which could include stuff like cinnamon or cardamom etc which don’t add heat but impart flavor and aroma
True we need everyone to keep the system going but maintenance isn’t progress, few can push the envelope in a meaningful way, while many can ruin the progress made and create a backslide into shittier times

Well it’s a lot easier to just get a streaming subscription for a month, watch what you want and then cancel, compared to how it was in the days of cable, that being said because there is so much fragmentation of content between different platforms you might have to juggle through multiple websites just watch what you want
