I don't think you know what "unhinged" means.
And I agree with the parent, because I read it every single day on HackerNews. If by this point you're still talking about LLMs not being able to write good code, you're not living in reality.
So, go ahead and keep talking about all the AI companies going bankrupt, or whatever other fantasies you're waiting for. But your teammates are getting tired of it.
At the moment some people are in the bargaining phase trying to figure out how to stay employed and what their value is with AI and some people are in denialism phase which is becoming increasingly delusional. Others have already left software development for other corporate roles because they already accepted what is coming but I feel this is the minority voice online because they don't want to shake the beehive or want to get ahead of the curve themselves because it won't be nice when everyone tries to transition together.
And I am empathetic to those concerns! These are crazy times. That's why I'm here taking about how I think it's going to work.
But "AI writes slop code" just sounds ridiculous at this point.
