AI unsurprising what happens when you get a bunch of people who have never worked in software and promise them that they can start building stuff just by asking ChatGPT

AI you all might be too young (/j) but before ChatGPT there was just the trend of "no code" tools, like LogicApps or NodeRED, where non-techs just felt like they could just replace their engineering processes with that

in general most of the issue comes from people unable to accept that we provide very critical abilities and that we can't be replaced by whoever (who you'll pay half the salary)

re: AI @kitten Yeah my worry with AI has never been that I could be replaced by an AI and it would do well, its that some idiot would think that AI could do my job well.

Its also the same fear that some day my company will decide to replace the custom tool that is my main job with an off the shelf solution, which will inevitably not work well.

All this to say, the Luddites might have had it right. They didn't hate tech progress because it was scary, but because it was going to make things worse and they would be screwed in the process.

AI @kitten I believe that software engineers will be replaced one day, especially that there is a huge push for it from tech companies, but that time isn't now. I think vibe coding will be mandatory in companies especially on high-level language positions (eg. front-end) where cybersecurity doesn't matter that much
