Fuck man I don’t know how to explain this to people… AI creates code that works… But it’s like a house in stilts… One strong wind and it’s going to crash…
But the pushback is… It’s faster… What about bugs? Tell ai to fix them…
I don’t know what to do… If the apps are low usage low costs… For the end user it’s almost indistinguishable when it’s 5000 lines spaghetti code vs 1000 clean code… They both work… So how do you explain the higher ups that the cleaner code is better long term…
If long term they say ai will be better and faster fixing the bugs it makes today just keep using ai…

Anyone have opinions?
Unfortunately, like many jobs in the past, ours is changing.
I don’t have a crystal ball, so I don’t know what the future hold.
All we can do is be informed about LLMs and futur techs, produce the best outputs with the constraints we have and hope for the best.
Keep your skills up to date, and hopefully find a job where LLMs aren’t shoved down your throat. Or pivot towards something else.
Coachmen had to learn a new job, and it might be our turn.
I don’t hold a lot of hope for the next few years. It’s gonna be rough. All we can be is ready to the best of our abilities.
