Software Developers Losing Control of Code

“> They're talking about the result, one must think.Maybe they are, but in that case it's a frequent source of equivocation because people will conflate the process of their making with the result of some other process so as to proclaim themselves artists, musicians, programmers or whatever for writing something that they themselves wouldn't consider art or music unto itself in the first place, and having a machine generate something which they do consider to be art or music based on that.> Did I”

“Most software work is job related and business related. You are paid to work not to enjoy.Because of this the future of software will most likely be overtaken by AI because the business aspect of it will overtake the enjoyment aspect of it. Why? Because business pays bills, enjoyment does not.The fact that you are talking about lack of enjoyment on the job is a luxury not many employees can afford.”

“The problem with all existing GUI coding system is that they make it really hard to make anything other than the types of things they were designed to make. You could do it, but you have to leave the path and get into the weeds of how the system works, which usually has several layers of opinionated code structures on top of the underlying language it's compiling to.An AI visual/GUI coding system might be able to address that at a more modular level, but it would still come at the cost of transp”

“AI code review tools excel at analyzing syntax within a single file or a pull request. They can catch a missing semicolon a mile away. But they suffer from the same blindness as a rushed human reviewer: they review the diff, not the intent.They overlook the original prompt used by the coding agent and fail to grasp the broader business context of the application.Code review - whether conducted by a human or an LLM - doesn't actually verify whether the code accomplishes what was prompted. It cann”

“First of all I want to say it is not your fault, and also your article is clearly partly human, despite what Pangram says.The thing that I like the least is the headings and the way LLMs always try to put a punchy line. "Correctness time splits in two" says nothing if you don't know what it splits in. Maybe "making it correct vs. describing what's correct"?Another trope is short sentences: "Good engineers used to say this before LLMs, and now nobody can argue about the sunken cost of having writ”

“I agree with the point about we don't have clear/perceivable increase in value I.e. companies are not 10x profitable due AI.But, I don't understand the position of that has no value or that is going to be "turned off", that is just doomsday prophecy at this point.We focus so much in code, but AI have changed many if not most of the work. It made possible to take a chance in challenges that would once be dismissed of the bat.I do think we are still get used to the new ways of work, which IMO is a”

“It's interesting that it cares about formatting choices like bullet points.On the one hand, it makes the system more brittle and arguably overfit, since it's not making a decision on the content of the writing itself. Most people would say that AI writing is still AI writing even if bullet points are removed, and vice versa.On the other hand, we know that AI writing does has a very specific formatting signature (e.g. em-dashes, bullet points) so it seems unwise to completely ignore it.”

“I have been struggling to find any real benefit to using this for a few weeks now. Since the post is in r/hermesagent, the responses are bound to be biased.I would love to hear some input from the people in here regarding Hermes.This is not a hate campaign directed at Hermes; I would just like to understand its value, because currently, it feels like a huge waste of time and tokens LOL”

“> You are not creating software with the exact rules that I have made up in my head on how software should be made, so I'm going to build a wall and hate you and the code you make.The funny thing about this comment is out of the gate it screams the exact reason people don't want the LLM generated code in their zone.This reads similar to people who make prompt art getting upset that they're not taken seriously. People demand respect for something they didn't earn. Programmers who have worked hard”
