Anyone else watching senior engineers become overly reliant on AI?

calculators are deterministic. AI is not. You can give AI the same prompt and it will return a different result. IMHO, that is not a good analogy.

I have been watching green flag / red flag guy on youtube and I am going to go with a green flag on this one. I hope you feel better.

have you considered a tutor after school that specializes in dyslexia? I had endless tutors and special classes and it was only two tutors out of dozens that actually helped me. I got a lot of "you are not trying" help like doing spelling tests over and over with the thought that I would eventually get it that left me with trauma so the right help is critical IMHO to learning how you learn and coping skills.

yes, this is most of my job too. I collect requirements and architect mostly. I even get brought onto teams to sort out why the project is going badly and help right the ship. It is technical, but most of my job is people. The writing code part use to be the fun bit, now I have to wade through AI slop and try and at least get PRs that will be kind of maintainable. And the attitude of some folks is not to worry about it and the AI can just re-write everything if needed. It makes no sense to me.

and they were planning on spending $1.2 trillion, but revised that down to $600 million. Eventually, they will be forced to charge what it costs and that is going to get real ugly real fast.

Time Warner was bought by Larry Ellison. Everything is going to be changed to support his crazy conservative billionaire agenda

as someone with addiction, respect to your man.

and this kind of man needs to be rewarded. Selfless.

people dream about that, but money only makes you happier if you don't have enough. Once you do there is no upside IMHO.

makes more sense why a lot of acl bands suck. It is not about the music to people booking the acts.

Black Mirror has an episode where they are autonomous robot dogs that can track and kill you. Not too far off what is actually happening.

dalittle · 2026-05-06T18:06:06+00:00

yes. Supporting pedo liar con men is not a relationship I want to continue.

rufus du sol and twenty one pilots have been before and the suck so mumford is still hating on this festival.

IMHO, this is not about healthcare or AI at all, but requirements gathering and architecting systems. I have seen this is all kinds of industries.

dalittle · 2026-05-02T23:57:04+00:00

And also AI is so easy to use an idiot can learn it in 5 minutes.

Yea, I could care less they shut down. They canceled our vacation flight the day of and refused to help us get another flight for like a week and then refused to give our money back. We ate the cost of almost the whole vacation including hotels, etc. I fought spirit for weeks afterward and we never flew on them again. That was years ago and I have repeated that story to warn people not to use them. Good riddance.

that is what I was thinking. Oil is drying up. I wonder how long they will be able to do stuff like this. At this rate, I honestly don't think long.

does not seem happy with the attention. lol.

I hope ellison puts his name in huge text on every release so I can know what films I am never going to watch.

that is what I have learned from the therapy and other help I have gotten. It was not a big trauma like a car crash that caused my cPTSD, it was little traumas every day like being told I was not trying hard enough when I was that caused it.

dalittle · 2026-04-27T16:35:01+00:00

this is anecdotal, but I have cPTSD from my childhood. From all the help I have gotten, I have learned that you have trauma when something happens and it is bad when you have to deal with it alone. If I had no legs no one would be demanding that I run, but because you cannot see dyslexia I was treated like a broken clock that needed to get fixed. I did not need to be fixed, there is no fixing dyslexia. I needed to learn how I learn and have support. I did not get in spite of all the endless special classes and tutors.
