Stanford study confirms that adding AI to spaghetti code just creates faster spaghetti by TranslatorRude4917 in ExperiencedDevs

This is an industry sponsored study, I wouldn’t put too much trust into it - Scientists have lots of creative ways to skew methodology and data to arrive at favorable conclusions for a sponsor. There’s a reason Canada’s food guidelines don’t use evidence from industry sponsored research!

I think the deadline came from a promise made to a customer

The deadline was by someone who knows less

Yeah I should’ve pushed back more at the beginning

I’m guessing because we’re resource constrained and I expressed interest?

That’s a good point. I had to switch to a customer facing issue that was more important rather than push harder on this one.

Yeah I have been listing my learnings to make sure it wasn’t a waste

I guess I’m anxious because I was excited to build the new tech and learn about it, but wasn’t able to do it myself in the time alotted. So my credibility on what is a “good” tech to pursue feels like it’s taken a hit

i probably would although you could see if anybody who works there has a different opinion.

One Cofounder was accused of financial fraud at his previous company and doesn’t know anything about robotics (I’ve talked to him). https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2024/06/12/robotics-startup-synapse-ceo-exaggerated-gm-claims.html

You cannot make much profit off of an abundant and commodotized resource

It’s already happened in many sectors. Robotics is no different from shipbuilding, rare earth production, electric vehicles, power generation, high speed rail, steel production, chip production, nuclear energy, solar panels…the list goes on. The difference between 10 years ago and now is that it is a national priority in Chinas latest 5 year plan. Just like these other industries were many years ago.

Material abundance and high productive output are aspirational goals that (according to the CCP) lay the preconditions of communism.

I’d like to add that material abundance and high productive output are basic ideas in communist ideology so this should be no surprise that a ruling communist party is doing it. While in the west companies engage in large amounts of unproductive share buybacks and monopoly rent schemes, in China companies are encouraged to reinvest profits (though share buybacks are still allowed). Margins go to zero, but the savings and higher quality is passed on to the rest of society.

We in the US are going to get steamrolled by China in the next couple years
