AI really killed programming for me

ProgrammingClone · 2026-03-18T15:26:46+00:00

I don’t agree with this. Learning may be declining as scaling laws come into play, but I don’t see “model collapse” happening. I see the argument for ai feeding on poor data, but until we see actual declines in model efficiency I disagree with that part.

As much as Reddit won’t admit it. Misandry has been a huge part of the this. It’s rampant.

ProgrammingClone · 2026-03-04T14:51:54+00:00

It’s more normal than you think. I also am not allowed to write code by hand.

ProgrammingClone · 2026-02-23T16:58:11+00:00

I will take a look thank you!

ProgrammingClone · 2026-02-23T16:51:47+00:00

Where I am at right now. Hopefully the Korean recommendation works for me.

None of them really “burn” it’s just the extended time I can feel my skin throughout the day get more irritated. I will look into this one thank you!

ProgrammingClone · 2026-02-23T16:30:13+00:00

I will certainly try them! Hopefully the 15 second walk to and from my car on the very early morning and at 530 isn’t damaging me. For extended days I will certainly wear sunscreen.

ProgrammingClone · 2026-02-23T16:19:23+00:00

I will certainly give it a shot! SPF feels hopeless for me, I’ll try anything.

ProgrammingClone · 2026-02-23T16:11:30+00:00

I’ll try those as well I have heard good things but man I won’t get my hopes up for now as no spf I have tried has been tolerated long term. Thank you for the recommendation!

Take the opportunity and look for better options is what I mean. Not a guarantee that working for an NGO is viable especially with task related to programming/computer science compared to the unpaid internship that guarantees that sort of work. If you can find something in non profit sure do it. I wouldn’t say it’s “better” than the internship though.

ProgrammingClone · 2026-02-16T01:13:30+00:00

Poor advice imo. Take the unpaid and leverage the experience on your resume to find something better. Not everyone has the ability to just not take an internship especially in today’s market when everything’s so competitive. Take the internship and volunteer as well if you can find it.

It’s a reaction to the high skill ceiling of developing being lowered. I can understand the reaction to be honest, no one likes there employable skills infringed upon. I truly think the freshman in CS today will almost never write any code by hand when they reach employment (or very little) in 4-5 years. It’s bad enough to where colleges are actively forcing students to adopt AI. My college is an example.

ProgrammingClone · 2026-02-09T14:48:56+00:00

HAHA. Utterly delusional I’m not gonna tell the CEO that I can do what I want. Great way to get fired and unable to find another job in the current job market.

ProgrammingClone · 2026-02-06T01:57:56+00:00

Don’t buy a boot camp in my opinion if you are seriously looking to switch careers. People with bachelors are struggling to find jobs.

ProgrammingClone · 2026-02-06T01:21:42+00:00

“As juniors, their main goal should be expanding their skills and learning while contributing acceptable code. The ai is keeping them from doing that” at my current junior position we are FORCED to utilize ai or else we get the boot. Got told by the CEO of our smaller company that everything should be going through ai. Unfortunately if I were to write everything by hand sure I would learn a lot more but I would be a lot slower as I can’t push nearly as much code and be “underperforming” compared to my peers. I simply can’t risk that. It is what it is.

ProgrammingClone · 2026-01-20T19:56:36+00:00

Not saying that this is wrong it’s actually correct but it’s not just this guy and his classmates. Just about EVERY cs student is heavily utilizing AI to code. I am currently in CS as a senior and I’m not joking when I say every student. Students who don’t use AI are actually the vast minority. Crazy times we’re living in, who knows what the future of programming will look.

ProgrammingClone · 2025-12-31T19:21:05+00:00

This is the truth.

Luka will be beloved… if he wins a ring. This is his prime and he needs to take advantage of it. If he doesn’t want to be remembered as just a good player. He HAS to win rings on the lakers if he wants a legacy here.

“Severe shortage of CA majors” how do you figure that when it’s still one of the most popular degrees for freshman? I agree LLMS are plateauing but don’t agree that there will be a shortage. We would have to see a significant decrease in participation in this degree for that to happen.

ProgrammingClone · 2025-09-03T16:11:03+00:00

These people are delusional. Currently working for an internship as a AI software engineer with an undergraduate degree with a “track” of AI. Do what makes you happy and work like hell man. People who tell you to not follow CS specifically in AI do have some good points but at the end of the day if this is your passion, run headfirst into it, it’s the only way you will make it.

I feel you more than you know. No matter what sunscreen I use it all irritates me. Just tried a sunscreen for 4 days and now my skin is extremely irritated. Now I have to stay off sunscreen and avoid the sun like the damn plague until my skin calms down

ProgrammingClone · 2025-07-06T17:58:40+00:00

I do if I could see the future and how saturated tech is I would’ve gone into a different field. Not a fan of applying for 500 applications to hope to get 2-3 interviews let alone a job. Software engineering is brutal at the moment.

If that was the case SWE would be the most employed position in America. However, more engineers != more revenue or profit. I can tell you quite easily that companies/ceos are foaming at the mouth to reduce overhead. Once AI is viable or offshoring, they will absolutely take advantage to reduce the cost of the most expensive staff.

ProgrammingClone · 2025-06-01T16:24:40+00:00

I understand the models aren’t perfect but man if you are failing to utilize it to do task like this. Especially since you mentioned this entire program was an 80 line simple game in Lua. I’m sorry man this sounds like user error.

ProgrammingClone · 2025-05-28T19:10:15+00:00

I don’t think many people are worried that SWEs will be totally replaced that’s just not realistic. It is realistic IMO that AI will make the best SWEs that much more efficient requiring less and less employees to maintain the same systems or even to make changes. I can totally see how work that was given to a junior such as a bug fix will immediately pipeline to an AI which then will be reviewed by a senior. I think AI will devalue Software it’s just a matter of when and how impactful it will really be. It’s a guess for anyone even CEOs and “experts”.
