In my opinion, AI-coding is basically gambling. The odds of getting a usable output are way better than piping from /dev/urandom/, but ultimately it's still a probabilistic output of whether what you want is in fact what you get. Pay for some tokens, pull the slots, and hopefully your RCE goes away.

replace 'AI' with 'intern' for the literally same result.
People post comments like this hoping for the dopamine shot of creating a “gotcha” moment. The problem, however is that these comments are: insulting, reductive, and just a straight up lie
There are some bright interns, I’ve worked with a couple. I’ve also worked with a few on the other end of the bell curve and that post is about them.

I’d rather tell it as a joke than be blunt about the left tail of engineers being made redundant for life, slowly, but inevitably.

That is expecting too much of most juniors and many seniors I had worked with.
