Haven’t read the article, but can anyone with more software experience let me know how you’re supposed to collaborate with someone who uses AI to code? I’m working with a vibe coder for the first time. As far as I can tell, his code is all great, but the dude checks in like 3,000 lines at a time. How am I supposed to have any understanding of a codebase that grows and changes that quickly?
I don’t need AI to make me a bad programmer.
Every advancement in technology resulted in the same conversation. What ends up happening is the energy we put into one thing is now put into something else and our productivity goes up.
I guess the real danger with AI if it meets its potential is we may not have a place to put our energy that AI isn’t already better at.
Exactly! People like to hate ai without looking at the changes already happening in the market ad in people’s life. All the time and energy we once took into doing a lot of demanding things like coding and writing will now be used for fixing the mistakes done by ai intead.
Lol, true. But significantly less energy put into that. I love writing SQL, but some things are tedious. And I also don’t know by heart. I can get AI to write most of the query for me, then I need to review it and fix issues, but in the end it is saving me like 20-30 minutes having to google and figure out syntax.
Am I worse off at writing SQL? Maybe, but I’m putting that energy into reviewing the results of the query quicker.
I use SQL as an example cause I just did exactly this. My energy is being used now to write a comment on the internet :)
