A new Coddy Developer Survey found that four in five developers, 80%, say their use of AI has felt more like a dependence than an advantage.

    Well, yeah…

    Most of the time it doesn’t work, rarely it does.

    Intermittent rewards are what we’re wired for. That’s why random rewards/acknowledgment tickle our brains more than standard rewards we know are coming.

    That’s the reason there’s such a big push “to just try it”.

    It’s the same strategy the first crack dealers used

      It feels so weird to read lemmy, as if I’m living in a different reality. To me, most of the time an agent can oneshot a ticket (if it has a good, non-vague description) or at least do 80-90% that can be fixed with several changes or prompts, and only odd tasks need more manual investigations than that.

      Surely you still need a dev oversight and someone needs to do tech plans & lead the projects, but that’s not like anything people experience here.

        For the little stuff sure. Most of us are the ones that handle the odd tasks.
