    I remember being obsessed with code and finishing a bootcamp and feeling unstoppable… but I never got the job. I can still refresh my skills whenever I want, but shit like this makes me wonder why I am always late to the party…

        There are a lot of highly paid software devs who started with no connections or college degree. This might be the hardest time to enter the field as a junior, but it’s definitely not full of nepo babies. You must be thinking of finance/law.

      Like these fucking shitheads in their fever dream delusions of grandeur are like “none of you will have jobs!!”

      What’s an unemployed and disenfranchised proletariat to do

    wait, I finally get it. 10x developers write 10x lines of code. They’re just verbose AF, so that many more lines of liability. That’s it. Yeah, I’m not 10x.

    I’m not saying, reduce lines of code in favor of readability, but that’s a different argument. I’ve heard it said that no abstraction is better than the wrong abstraction, but are 10xers opting for no abstraction all the time?

      I barely know how to code, but I think I could write a lot of lines of code too. They would be incredibly inefficient and poorly written though.

      250K lines of code in a month means about 10k lines per day.

      For an 8 hour work day (since they donchild labour, it might as well be 16, but let’s keep it simple) that is about 1000 lines of code per hour, so about 20 lines of code per minute. Give or take

      Unless you trust the output of AI implicitly without checking anything, ever, there is no way on this earth this can be done by a single person.

      Then, an actual senior developer would be required to evaluate each method he wrote, but I’m sure this 10 year old child with zero experience will suffice

      So basically, this guy just uses a child to tell chatgpt similar to vomit out text that likely may not even compile, let alone do what it needs to do correctly, with the right security protocols, all with the underlying infrastructure.

      All of this is bullshit and that CEO should be arrested for child labor

      Well, what he did was bringing something into the code base that might blow up the whole company one day in the future. Becuase what he didn’t do was thoroughly review the code that the AI made.

    I don’t think people here understand that Lauri Kesküll
    is saying famous last words about CEOs, not developers.

    Like what investor needs Lauri Kesküll to run a company when it can be run by just a few developers.
    Why not merge into a larger company and get rid of all the “middle management”?

    I remember seeing that happening once.
    Special meeting, all cries, he got flowers from us though.

      All of those senior devs that got sacked will be laughing for the rehire salary increase, assuming their company doesn’t fold on the ai code house of cards.

      As an AI native he knows how to prompt, for example to always include “don’t make errors” and “make sure to follow security best practices”. It’s really easy once you know.

      I just can’t get over why he needs a massive mousepad for software development and yet is using the shittiest keyboard possible. Maybe in between builds he’s queueing up for Fortnite?

    They’re going to take your job.

    I can certainly understand why one of your libraries was bothering you if you’re merging 250,000 lines of AI generated code in a month.

    Do you think society will collapse before these companies have to start tearing out all this AI written shit from their codebases? It would be nice to have some employment opportunities to look forward to.

      AI code is going to be like computer’s DNA introns where nobody knows what the fuck any of it even does except some of it will actually be critically important code that works for reasons literally nobody can understand without being a goddamn AI archaeologist
