AI works really well for generating "infrastructure" code like Terraform. Most of it is cookie cutter, and if it isn't, there's a good chance you're probably doing something wrong anyway.
There's no "craftmanship" there. And I don't want there to be.
It works well for Python too and JavaScript and on a whim I had it create AppleSoft Basic code. Trust me there is no “craftsmanship” in a LOB CRUD app or yet another SaaS app. Your CRUD enterprise code is just as cookie cutter. You’re not doing anything groundbreaking.
Absolutely no one gives a damn about “craftsmanship”. I just got rave reviews from a customer for my completely AI generated website for their internal use. I didn’t look at a single line of code and haven’t done any serious web development since 2002 in classic ASP.
The customer is happy. My company is happy and they continue putting money in my bank account on the 1st and 15th. I use to think like you. But I quickly grew out of it.
Heh. I think we agree. You may be referring to the OP.
