Why are you trying to put the rest of us out of a job?

Projects like this are just going to cause economic harm to other software developers. It's punching down on others in the industry, and it's not good.

As a coder who also makes art, I feel like these companies wielding these new AI tools are screwing me twice over. Maybe it's time to retrain as a plumber or electrician, because any industry that has a large digital component is getting increasingly fucked.


You have a few options now.

1. Learn to drive the tractor

2. Be the person who can repair a tractor

3. Start a tractor company

4. Find a business application that previously was not possible without tractors, or that is now much cheaper with tractors

Why are you using a shovel when a spoon would do?

You’re in software. Surely you were aware that things can be automated.


At some point that's going to cross a threshold from things to everything, and then we'll be in trouble.


I still don't see why we'd ask "pretty please can you use spoons instead of shovels so I can keep my job?" The sensible thing is obviously for some of the savings to be diverted into a social safety net, so you can retrain as a plumber or something without losing healthcare, your home, ability to feed yourself, etc. Going back to spoons isn't gonna happen


Barbarians at the gate. It's an adapt or die moment, and OP is adapting.

No one can stop this anyway. Anyone trying will simply be left behind.
