  • Bugs frustrate me more because I can often guess at why they are happening and how to fix them but can’t just apply the fix myself.

    That’s like a big portion of bugs lmao, lots of bugs exist because the spaghettification of the code makes it too costly to fix. Do you really think devs don’t know why the bugs are there? They usually can’t be fixed because there is no time or no willingness from management or the root cause is so deeply rooted it requires a shit ton of work to be able to fix it at all.



















  • “AI” is just another productivity tool, copilot let’s you remove some of the tedious patterned work you do, like writing all those asserts in Unit tests, it’s decent at guessing html structures too.

    So basically it makes a developer faster, but then so do stuff like a good IDE, good plugins for your workflow, etc.

    i saw somewhere an interesting take, even if AI could generate all the code for all the edge cases, you’d still need people to translate what business wants for the AI to understand properly.

    Writing code is already a small part of a developers job, completely eliminating it won’t eliminate a developers job.
