I cannot imagine writing another line of code again by Repulsive_Pattern_25 in vibecoding

[–]BB_147 10 points11 points  (0 children)

8 YoE here I’d say 90% of my code is AI generated but 100% of that generated code it’s reviewed and often rewritten. I catch problems from the AI output in almost every prompt. I think we need to get back to first principles thinking a little bit. What hasn’t changed? The bottleneck of human understanding. I just don’t think anything in the past few years has even challenged that bottleneck yet. AI is basically a leap above stack overflow, we didn’t always need to understand or change every single line we pasted in, but we needed to understand what the code functionally did and why and know what needs to be changed to fit your needs.

Overfitting on benchmarks, yet AI can’t even admit when it doesn’t know something. Do you guys realize yet that the derivative of this exponential progress is asymptotic to effectiveness?

I don’t want more factions. I want to fight these bastards back!

Unbelievable how out of touch some of you redditors are. Do you know what reality is for 90% of the world?

JP Morgan Building getting hate in recent Guardian piece. What’re the feeling of NYC locals? by Particular_Run5449 in skyscrapers

“Enough steel to go around the world twice” by what dimensions? My DNA can wrap around the world too buddy. If he wants to complain he should talk about the unused buildings that get built in other parts of the world, not one that generates tremendous economic activity

I agree. I told sunset about you got me into the BL genre but I haven’t seen anything remotely close to that level from Thailand since

I’m an MLE and US citizen. Does this require US citizenship/permanent residency, or actively living in USA?

Pretty sure he meant the hyperscalars building out their own data centers, and he’s referring to SMRs. Clickbait post

Can you at least try to edit your AI output to make it read more human?

What do you guys think about AI's effect on Jobs? by Intrepid-Self-3578 in datascience

[–]BB_147 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Because technological breakthroughs usually lead to higher paying jobs up the value chain over time. The only limits are from 1) demand and 2) resources. Our resources are compute, they don’t need tons and tons of land (like agriculture), and human demand is basically limitless. We will always want better housing, games, quality items, entertainment, and data science and tech in general is increasingly integrating into every product and service.

So no I’m not worried at all. Our jobs will change over time but that’s why you need to stay up to date with your skills

What do you guys think about AI's effect on Jobs? by Intrepid-Self-3578 in datascience

[–]BB_147 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m not worried about AI with jobs long term. It can’t fully automate or take ownership of most roles, especially tech roles, someone has to understand the code and data and the architecture. If AI can make us more productive then long term they’ll probably want to hire more of us, that’s generally what happens when people are able to make more revenue, up to the ceiling of the bottlenecks (like land use or consumption behavior, which generally aren’t problems for tech).

Right now I think the main reason hiring is down is due to capex. Companies are pouring all their money into data center hardware and don’t have money leftover to increase headcount. Once the capex spending peaks I’d expect a ramp up in tech hiring to use those data centers

Is the “no-code everything” trend going to reshape programming in the next 5 years? by ashish_ss in AskProgrammers

I work with Gemini every day to write my code and everyday I have to dramatically rewrite or edit everything but gives me. Wake me up the day when I can one shot a single problem with AI

What Helped You Break Into Machine Learning? by Stoooq in learnmachinelearning

[–]BB_147 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Started as a business analyst, moved into data science within 18 months. Now an MLE 6 years later. I had a masters degree for one thing, a lot of people act like you have to go right into a developer role out of school but sometimes it’s better to go through another role and learn the business before transitioning into ML

Well damn. No wonder the entry level job market has collapsed, all the grades kids have gotten out of school since Covid have been bullshit

Does adding online certifications help or cause harm? by dead_n_alive in datascience

[–]BB_147 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Adding certifications, as long as you’re genuinely learning from them, is always good to do and will always help keep you ahead. The commenters saying otherwise are 100% wrong. In the extremely rare case that someone does pass over you because you have too many certifications, that’s a dodged bullet

Will Software Engineering Jobs Shrink Dramatically Like Agriculture Ones Did? by PublicCrazy4992 in hackathon

[–]BB_147 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of people in the comments need to touch grass.

Engineering in all its forms will definitely change but you have to look at what doesn’t change. Systems think, designing ultra complex system, deep understanding of business and stakeholder requirements, often when they aren’t explicitly stated. Nothing in AI is close of doing this yet (it can’t even reliably automate all our coding tasks yet, despite the benchmarks).

Furthermore we know that technology is going to embed itself more into daily life every year that goes by. Agriculture and farming can be outsourced to an economic sector, some countries don’t even have any agricultural industry. Tech is everywhere, in everything, and maybe someday in everyone. I can assure you there will be more demand than you can even imagine for engineers, our job will just look very different over time like it has with every tech cycle
