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.
Absolutely. And keep in mind that many managers seem to be bean counters that would rather fire people to lower costs than keep those people and be able to do actual stuff with them. Doing stuff takes imagination/brains and sometimes b*ls, and in my current experience that's not something to expect from management.
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.
