this is what software engineering used to be before AI

Just u, your local system, and some good bits and bytes, cooking something delicious and original, the good ol days.

I get where the audience is coming from tbqh, I always get hyped when baking YouTubers combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients.

me adding React to the codebase

and this is what it is now:

When bicycles were invented people didn't stop jogging. When cars were invented people didn't stop racing horses. When chess engines were invented people didn't stop playing chess. But when LLMs became a thing programmers gave up on writing code. 😐

Except instead the chef would be so enamored with his own stainless steel pans and stirring technique and not actually care if anyone enjoyed the dish.

99% of devs were not Emeril.

we used to have culture in this country

it’s true, before AI took over SRE, the resident senior engineer would have the whole war room watching them resolve the Sev1. Applauses all around on resolution. Now the AI just one shots the fix and rollback

just 2 years back, My colleagues: bro how did u do that ? damn you are something else man now, "bro it's easy I can vibe code this in an hour"

I actually found that, after watching this, there are a lot more parallels between us and those who work in the kitchen it helps of course, that its anthony bourdain laying it out there

we used to be great...

oh god just kill me if i had to do this

Yeah now it's more about old guy stuff, old guys FTW. Fck dem kids, lol

bro I added cheese to my slop, we are so much back

What else to do between compiling deploying and test running Man. Zirp was crazy
