      I am curious if these companies are going to bleed talent by making these statements. If I was on the dev team at Replit and I was worth half a shit I would be shopping for a new company starting today.

      been at web dev for over a decade and this threat is real. cursor is already an insane AI coding assistant. i’m already trying to pivot away from this shit.

      Good. Because professional coders couldn’t care less about him and his bullshit AI company.

      Seems like nobody in here read the article. He’s talking about his customers, not employees. He’s saying that their focus isn’t towards professional coders as a customer, because the current state of AI means that anyone can code at a level high enough to use and understand their products.

      As a senior dev I find this hilarious. Even o1 pro doesn’t know if something should be server side or not, it can’t ui for shit, and still makes general mistakes, like ignoring common linting rules.

      Sounds like nobody will know how to fix anything when bugs occur. And there is going to be the eventual feedback loop when it does.

      He laid off 65 people, when the business revenue grew 5x. Talentless company. He’s looking for someone to buy him out for this intellectual property.

      After reading the article, I’d like to stress that the headline phrase is about who they’re trying to sell their product. They’re focusing on sell it to people who has no idea about coding. One wonders if it’s because the results of their model are consistently far beyond expectations of professionals of coding, and if that has something to do with the company having to axe half of its workforce last year for surviving.

      AI can barely piece together a function, yet alone an entire application.

      When we’re all poor we need to refuse to sell produce to these people.

      That’s really interesting because you can generate all the code you want, but if you don’t have seasoned, senior programmers to vet the ouput, you’re going to have a really bad time.

      I think business got salty because the value of our skills continue to grow and they’ve launched a PR campaign to combat the fact that LLMs make experienced developers significantly MORE valuable.

      While I generally don’t bet against corporatists as their reach is long and coffers full, I wish them best of luck on this bet.

      This smells like a bullshit bubble that should pop in the future.

      You still need real coders to watch the watchman so to speak.

    20. 3uclide on

      Funny how I haven’t seen real programmer say that.

      Always the CEOs.

      As a security engineer, yes, yes, let AI do all your coding and give me job security forever.

      Cool, self-replicating, self-evolving robots that will destroy mankind for good. Great job.

      Just think how much programmers will make when there is a bug in the AI generated code, and nobody knows how to debug it.

      >Writing code was the first thing that so-called generative AI models like OpenAI’s GPT could do well

      lol, it never wrote code. It just copied already written code from public repos and stack overflow.

      The amount of hallucinating the models still do when I ask them to do anything complex with an underlying api is quite high.

      When these company’s actually replace their developers with prompt engineers then I’ll take them seriously. Until then these comments are always just marketing hype.

      In 5 years these same clowns: over the past 5 years out infrastructure costs have trippled due to inefficiencies in our codebase. But we can’t get anyone to look at it for us.

      I hope those words are delicious because he’s going to be eating them later.

      Replit’s CEO is an asshole who will block you on Twitter if you call out his hypocrisy.

      He’s just another rich coward who got lucky stealing value from everyone else.
