The utility of current-era AI may well be overstated, and the business models of certain companies might be doubtful, but that doesn't make AI it a "cult".

If you blindly ignore all the drawbacks, preach that "future is now" and whoever is not using the slot machine "will be left behind", then you're in a cult.

An opinion held, in my estimation, by a tiny (but noisy) minority of people who have always existed; the trend obsessed rebuild-the-world types who probably think that AI will soon be able to write unaided a kernel in Rust superior in 100% of metrics to Linux.

It's not just perhaps a bit mean, it's thought-terminating immature racist bullshit when you could have many other better arguments against nationalism in general. You may be annoyed by the pointless nationalism, it doesn't give you the right to…

I hope you are a bot. Because its just sad if you are a real person with such hatred within them. Why exactly are you mad right now? Because someone called out Bloomberg publishing an incorrect article regarding India recently? And that prompted you to type out such vile sentences?

Bloomberg is not some universally unbiased source respected by everyone in the world. And SEBI is a trusted entity for most Indians. Most Indians trusting SEBI over Bloomberg shouldn't be shocking.

Again. Be better. Even if you disagree with the person you had no excuse for being such a vile person. Look inwards and fix yourself.

We already have the business side come with requirements in the form of 'solutions' that they have thought up, which more often than not are Rube Golberg-esque contraptions, that you have to conversationally reverse engineer to arrive at the actual requirements.

In the future they will come with their 'ready' solution, already 'working' and be even less receptive to look at design and architecture holistically. Just make it like that. And why do you need to spend X man hours? The thing is basically already done!

We are doing this on my team (I am the frontend engineer) and honestly I really miss the old way of doing things. Written specifications are being reduced in favor of these working prototypes, and now there’s this extra cognitive burden of reading the code and trying to determine what were the intended changes, and what’s the slop that needs to be tossed aside. We also have to figure out, should we take over this gen…

The code is not meant to be read anymore. That's the mistake. Do you look at generated assembly that comes out of your compiler? You don't. So why are you looking at this code? We have pushed up the abstraction layer.

Good engineers should understand what goes on underneath them in the stack (at decreasing accuracy probably the more layers away it is) if they care about their craft and the quality of it, even if not in perfect detail, if you're just acknowledging that you've never even tried, then perfect! The AI "revolution" is just right for you.

You know what's worse than shitting on the streets? Creating a fake account just to throw racist crap you otherwise don't have the balls to do so with your real name beside it.

You having this opinion doesn't mean it allows you to be a racist asshole, what part of that you don't really understand? You are annoyed by Indian nationalists, there's absolutely no need to behave like you did just because of that.

The only thing Monaco has going for itself is being a tax haven for ultra-wealthy people in a land strip smaller than many towns in Europe; it's more impressive for a nation to be able to feed 1.4 billion people (even with all the gaps, misery, that are inherent from just sheer volume of people in a developing country) than being Monaco to be honest.

Just revisit your thoughts and be aware of the bullshit you say. Nothing good comes out from behaving the way you did, it can only lead to you cementing this pattern of thought, reinforcing it and re-applying to other nations that you deem "unimpressive", very easy to start considering people inferior if you continue on this path.

Be a better person than this, right now it's quite disgusting as much as you try to word it in ways to make you feel better and justified.

your two statements can be true at the same time: I do not need to look at the code because I know exactly what it does.

do I care for every snippet? every call's signature? no I do not.

do I understand what it does 100%? yes, because I directed it to be built like that.

I don't get people like you. "care about their craft" - what craft? my job is to make ideas into reality, how I get there is irrelevant. this is what I get paid for and this is what gets me satisfaction.

I've always disliked spending weeks arguing with people about every little detail and having an ideaological war. From the end output most of the decisions that people who "care about their craft" care about are utterly irrelevant.
