The engineer, who posted anonymously on X under the username voxium for fear of reprisal from his employer, called his new role at an undisclosed company "soul-sucking."
AI in engineering is an accelerator. If you are producing slop software, which most teams are, then it’s just going to accelerate the rate at which you can produce shitty software and bad code.
If teams are producing high-quality software, then it accelerates those teams’ ability to deliver that quality.
Yes, and most engineers effect on the product can be graded on [-1, 1] scale. And I find that the -1s accelerates faster.
