And I’m getting my ass kicked routinely on review for dumb-ass things that I’m letting slide from AI generated output.
Now imagine if you aren’t that experienced and the reviewers aren’t that thorough, or, and this is the most depressing part, review process doesn’t exist. And you get people, even senior engineers, who push that sub-optimal barely working code, but because their project isn’t that complicated, it somehow works, so they continue with it, and after some iterations they get code that nobody wrote, nobody knows how to maintain, and nobody reads. But because a lot of modern frameworks are made so monkey can make that barely work by sitting on a keyboard, a lot of the projects didn’t collapse on itself yet.
And that’s how you get a generation of programmers who lost the ability to program.
