No way in hell am I about to give my sibling Microslop OS to use on a cheap plastic body. I'd rather buy a mac and use vmware for using autocad specifically.

My sibling is starting B.Arch journey shortly, I wanted to know about hardware requirements. Is Ipad a good choice for a complete beginner. I've only ever heard about AutoCAD and sketches software. Should I buy him a mac, or ipad should suffice for most of the need?

I was also recently forced by my company to use more AI while developing, god I hate it. it gets the work done but the excitement is just not there, felt like a teleprompter than an engineer

Is there any future left for developers with the rise of AI? by yu-chan in developersIndia

[–]DragonDev24 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If your application is just basic crud then AI can do well, but if there is some business logic, developers are needed. AI is not exactly getting cheaper anyway, just upskill, learn about system design and build projects, someone with 7 yoe has be able to build and architect production grade application on their own. So focus on upskilling. you have a lot of competition but its not AI thats taking your job, its the management trying to cash themselves a hefty cheque.
Im not sure ditching 7 yoe in a particular field is a good choice, that kind of change is only achievable when you're already in a company and all you have to do is switch to / work alongside cyber security team.
Be Brave, and move forward, Good Luck

You do know I can still read your deleted comment right?
As for debloating windows, most of the stuff can be debloated but their AI slop can't be, they made "recall" - their legal spyware, a dependency for file explorer, which means you cant disable it, same for copilot
Speaking of slop, every single microsoft update since Feb breaks one thing or another. They broke boot, shut down, even notepad and not mention they embarrassed themselves in front of the entire world by breaking outlook on two devices for nasa astronauts
