I agree with you, but now we have managers pushing code to production, people that never coded but are "IT versed"..so you get PR/MR not just with code, but with PR/MR comment written by Claude, Commit Message written by Claude.. all super verbose, and you know the people operating Claude, have no clue. Super dangerous combination. But part of the reality.

My son works in a place where this happens pretty regularly, and it actually increases his job security to clean it up.

Managers are pushing non-trivial code that experienced engineers shouldn't be writing anyway.

If you're worried about not being able to write git commit messages anymore, then you might have been in the wrong career in the first place.

The whole point of AI is to reproduce things that used to be mass produced. AI isn't generating high quality compilers or OS kernels, for example, because we haven't found a way to mass produce those yet.

I suggest you stop listening to clowns like Elon Musk and Super Mario.

Your comment makes 0 sense..

non-trivial code shouldn't be written by experienced engineers? Please explain

> If you're worried about not being able to write git commit messages anymore, then you might have been in the wrong career in the first place.

How did you come to this conclusion? I am concerned about verbose AI documentation, 10 lines of commit message, MR comments with 50+ lines, the typical AI workflow that we all love: One huge commit with 10000+ changes.

> The whole point of AI is to reproduce things that used to be mass produced.

In your opinion, you mean? Because AI is doing everything which involves thinking. Art, Code, Music.. not "mass producted" things..

> I suggest you stop listening to clowns like Elon Musk and Super Mario.

Sounds like you are not really reading, thinking, writing.. only writing i guess?

AI is creating Art, Code, and Music, but only boring stuff that nobody cares about anyway.

Sure, AI can generate your logo, or mix some music that you can play at a party, but at some point, people will call you out for feeding them garbage.

That's when you'll have to hire an experienced graphic designer to design a proper logo, and an experience DJ to create a proper mix based on your audience's mood.

To me AI is just like an IDE. It does stuff that I don't want to do so that I get to work on the fun stuff. Huge win.
