Should we as developers put more effort into defending our craft? The movements in the artistic space with AI were very widespread and vocal, but we developers seem not to care. I feel like developers in general are a bit more quiet and timid with things and it leads to companies or entire industries taking advantage of us. Am I the only one who feels like developers really need to be a bit more vocal in defending th…

Depends on your motive. I enjoy the "art" of programming, but I enjoy even more using it to build cool stuff, make companies happy, start side projects or even businesses.

I've not seen any indication an AI legitimately replacing software engineering, rather enhancing it perhaps resulting in the need for fewer engineers for the same work. Even as an engineer that's a huge win.

The role is less coding, more engineering. I suppose if the "craft" is the coding part, you're right it may need defending, but to me that's not the craft

How about Svelte 5 with runes mode? One of the biggest challenges I've encountered so far while working on my SvelteKit with Svelte 5 codebase is that all frontier models struggle to understand differences between major versions of languages and frameworks, leading to a lot of annoying hallucinations. They're fantastic at writing code, but the last mile of figuring out how to fix issues for incorrect APIs or syntax b…

As a non-LLM, I got so confused with Svelte 5's runes, that I just avoided it altogether by not touching it haha

If AI is building better software why stop it? If it's not, what's the threat? What's to defend? Our right to build worse software? Prevent people from using tools as they see fit? What's course of action would you take?

No, as except for an elite artistic few, the defenders of unproductive ways or even those who refuse to aggressively upskill, end up poor with few prospects.

This is especially true in an industry where anyone can jump in (unless we want to lock computers behind licences).

I want the high salary to continue, so I will move where the tools take me. AI let’s me generate a ton more features in the same amount of time.

Fight against AI tools? You are not likely to win that battle.

Horse carriage manufacturers would not have stopped car makers, regardless of how hard they tried or unionized. You have to adapt.

This is an enormous footgun that makes AI absolutely impossible to use in Godot. You get a ton of Godot 3 code output which really doesn’t resemble Godot 4 code at all, despite having the same name.

I'm a bit afraid that LLMs will make it harder for new frameworks and tools, as they have far fewer examples to learn from. And if that will make it so that the established frameworks remain status quo.

The future of AI-assisted coding is probably agents that can automatically test the code candidates they generate.

That should help mitigate the problem. If it tries to use the old API it just won't compile.

I'm not having much success with this beyond very basic components. I think I'd have more success iteratively working with ChatGPT or Claude directly, and then pasting the code into jsfiddle, pastebin, or replit to see the results and iterate.

I’m begging you to try out cursor and sonnet as the model. It is incredible, and it genuinely feels like magic when it comes to codebase context.

Thank you, great idea! have you joined at the discord channel?

Code doesn't really have the same 'human touch' the way art does. We've spent the past 20 years making libraries, higher level languages, UI frameworks, etc to make development faster. If there's any 'human touch' it's a lot higher level than just the lines of code. Art has mostly been the same for a very long time. Especially painting/drawing. For most people it's a passion and creative outlet. From what I've seen (some) AI investors say so far, they want to replace that creativity.

Try clicking "Choose Framework" or "Export Code". There you can find all the available formats to export =)

Gotcha, that wasn't obvious on mobile

The reason is that the mobile version doesn't include all the tools available in the desktop version. The mobile version is more of a 'light' or 'shortened' version, offering fewer features for a more streamlined experience.

I suspect that developers and luddites are almost entirely separate groups of people.
