    LLMs are a tool that can lift up the quality of coding work

    Imagine telling on yourself like this.

    And that is right after implying that you are a “proficient professional coder” that is “like engineer level” unlike those pesky “anti ai warriors”. Jesus fucking Christ.

      I’ve been training my own employees for years. And I’m suggesting you get a degree before playing keyboard warrior on the internet. ;)

      it makes it easy for bad coders to mask as passable but good coders can still spot that in review.

        My entire point was in one single sentence, and yet you managed to shit out three sentences, not even remotely addressing that.

        I’m saying that if the output puked out by an LLM is of better quality than your own code, something you literally just confessed to, then you’re nothing but a hack. An impostor.

        What does the fact that you’ve been training anyone have to do with that? What does a degree, or lack thereof, have to do with anything? I’ve seen plenty of hacks employed as “seniors”, some with a CompSci degree. The kind of hacks that used to be overly reliant on StackOverflow in the past. The kind of hacks that write poorly performing garbage, yet quote Knuth’s “premature optimization is the root of all evil” (completely missing the context) when you confront them about it.

          I’m not saying ai code is better than mine. But ai review sees quite a lot normal humans would overlook. Pair programming works with ai just as good. Generally agentic coding is shit. And I have nothing to prove nor get mad about. Somehow you can’t seem to bring up a sound argument but rage. X)

          I’m running a successful business with plenty of Devs trained and working for me doing all kinds of specialized real-time engineering. You shout on Lemmy.
