There are a lot of software developers on Lemmy.
AI is being pushed as a software development tool. It tends to remove the fun part of our jobs (coding, debugging, optimizing) and relegates us to the shitty parts (code review).
We don’t like that.

Personally I find I’m able to focus on high level design problems which I enjoy a lot. I still enjoy crafting elegant solutions to unique problems, but at least in my current job, most code is trivial and feels tedious to write by hand. Also, LLMs generate better code than some of my coworkers. Most of the slop I’ve had to deal with this year is in 20+ y/o codebases, and none of it was generated by LLMs.
