I have always poured myself into my craft. Its something i’ve fucking loved. The highs when you crack a problem. The Thoughts when youre going through it. It’s something that I could pour myself into and KNOW that the output would be trustworthy, reliable and I WOULD GAIN KNOWLEDGE FROM IT. The state of AI throws this all to shit. There’s this hidden balence of “speed” (Use LLMs) and reliability/not shitty code smell. I feel like I can balence them decently well while still shipping quite fast by cutting scope when availible. but FUCK does it sting when something gets merged in that is honestly dogshit. So many bugs, took prod down. LIKE HOLY SHIT I HATE THIS CODE. Yet… it’s approved. It’s merged. Because people want the fucking output.
Coding used to be this magic, you could… controll computers!!. and now. Well now none of it is magic. Not because it’s understood, but because ‘oh i can do that’.
Maybe theres some balence that I dont see right now. But working with these models … its wrenching to se how the industry is progressing.
FUCK
