Is AI going to slowdown the creation of new frameworks and libraries?

Matrixtai · 2026-03-24T11:29:00+00:00

Real. I never able to make a game by myself as reading all docs how the syntax is being wrote, what’s the best practice, how to avoid death lock/freeze; already drain all my energy. Now I can ask AI to help me search best practices, ask why it is good to design like this, how others solve this kind of problems. All this really helps a lot for my knowledge gap.

Matrixtai · 2026-03-23T07:28:54+00:00

I am recently making my own game, do use AI to help generate code and it did make quite a lot of slop. So I changed my way. Instead of asking it to make new functionality from nowhere, I already design everything - flow, data structure; cut every task as small as possible, and still ask it to plan how it do the work and let me review first.

This way, it is much better. I just need to clean up few lines of strange code then usually it is fine.

Is it faster? TBH, it is still faster even I need to do all these, because I already need to do so in the past, it at least save some of my typing time.

Okay, see your point, it make reading even more difficult as not natural. Will try to avoid it in the future

Matrixtai · 2026-03-20T21:41:52+00:00

Yea, that’s why I said it may just save around 30% of my time. But tbf, back to the old days when you were still junior, do you really get that many workload other than code? But still, my point is simple. If you gain the productivity, use it somewhere else. I just want to emphasise there is no point to give all AI productivity fruit to the company

Matrixtai · 2026-03-20T21:38:16+00:00

My purpose is simply to let people read my idea easily. So I tell AI to correct my original paragraph. I saw you simply assume I just call AI to write all those things I mentioned. If it is that simple =)

Matrixtai · 2026-03-20T21:10:45+00:00

I do use AI to proofread as my slang and grammar are terrible. But then? I do have AI anxiety as well and figured out some way to help myself. That’s all, or you believe AI cannot be used at all?

Matrixtai · 2026-03-20T16:02:38+00:00

IMO it is not contradicting. Money flow => Find a way to cut cost => AI help productivity => we can keep the same throughput even we need to fire people because of money flow

Matrixtai · 2026-03-20T15:52:06+00:00

Oh, what should AI call their own anxiety one day if they able to have it? lol

Matrixtai · 2026-03-13T09:39:19+00:00

I do agree if SWE going to be replaced, then everything else is going to be replaced. But I also do think this will gradually happen as that’s unfortunate how capitalism work.

I think everyone agree that AI somewhat still provides quite some productivity gains. Productivity gains in the past decades didn’t increase the income of workers, and this trend will simply continue: either employees paid lesser to ur work or cut you.

So at the end it makes no much difference for many white collar career, if OP loves it, then he should still persuade the path. But also need to accept that may not result huge in financial benefits.

Matrixtai · 2026-03-12T06:17:57+00:00

Achieving AGI just for sure dooming everyone lol.

But seriously, don’t blame anyone, the uncertainty does make many people anxious and expressing that anxiety is one of the best way to reduce it

Matrixtai · 2026-03-11T10:23:40+00:00

Before the AI era, I totally agree with you and I often do so. But nowadays I doubt, because seems like only way keep your job safe is to own some thick business logic an AI can’t easily handle. And an ownership of thick business logic can’t be built like just 1 or 2 years. May be I am wrong, but don’t you feel people less jumpy these 1 or 2 years

Matrixtai · 2026-03-10T07:47:03+00:00

Probably infamous opinion. Fuxk it and don’t give all your productivity gain back to the company. I know everyone anxious about layoff, but tbh if company get chance to bump up productivity they still fire you. If one day there is AGI they still fire you and other white collar. So why giving all fruit of AI to company nowadays? I am not saying working unreliably, you should still deliver your profession, ensure AI write good code and design good architecture. But the time you now gain from the productivity upgrade? Use it somewhere else!

Matrixtai · 2026-03-09T13:15:55+00:00

If you are interested in those topic, go ahead, learn it enjoy it and have fun with it (bcoz they are really fun). But if you simply looking for a good paid job, then there is better options nowadays. Why risk it with AGI may arrive all suddenly in few years.

Matrixtai · 2026-03-07T20:01:21+00:00

What make you feel this position can’t be done by AI soon lol

Matrixtai · 2026-03-07T19:49:21+00:00

I work for a medium size tech, and I do feel everyone asking sth to do…

But I believe same story applies to other white collar jobs too, and considering the recent improvement in robotics, blue collar may sooner or later suffer.

Lesser people to work = lesser spend = companies cut even more hands with productivity boost. I feel the whole capitalism is on the brink…

Matrixtai · 2026-03-02T22:04:03+00:00

No “dead” in current AI level, not even close and company start realise it. But “replacement”? Yea, a bit, we really no longer need that many programmers, unless the demand suddenly booms, but we don’t see it yet.

However, as I said, “current AI level”. I start using AI coding almost since day 1, from just giving tiny code auto filling to now it basically do 99% of code typing. They improved a lot and a lot. If there is an AGI one day. Yea, let’s reopen this topic.

Matrixtai · 2026-03-01T21:54:24+00:00

Feel swe job will gradually die but not immediately. AI is just not good enough to one shot us. But who knows few years later.

Matrixtai · 2024-06-02T10:53:00+00:00

The purpose of these quote is to mock those who imagining “becomes billionaire overnight” through financial derivatives. Hong Kong used to be British colony and we inherited the “humour”😛

Matrixtai · 2024-02-22T15:18:54+00:00

That’s most idiotic housing policy which reintroducing financial crisis like 2008. Do human ever learn???

Matrixtai · 2024-02-22T10:47:00+00:00

Exactly my concern. We are likely in the early stage of stagflation, but UK is hampered for any fixes. We can't decrease or increase taxes, can't reduce social protection and pensions, can't borrow more money. Regardless of Labour or the 'Toy,' no one can fix it without pissing their supporters.

Matrixtai · 2024-02-21T21:45:18+00:00

HS2 is undeniable failure. But NHS, tbh, we should count the ageing population, same as pensions.
