The same thing happened to music when GarageBand and similar tools lowered the effort required to produce quality tracks. It took power away from the old gatekeepers and gave it to people with ideas but not traditional access. AI is doing that to software now.

You’re absolutely right, and the vast majority of people on this platform seem to get offended by anything AI related. Software engineers have been reviewing code made by other people since the dawn of the craft. Guess what y’all, AI generated code looks exactly the same, if not better on the first pass at creating a thing.

Down vote me all you want homies. You’re living in a fantasy if you think all AI is slop. Sure, I can see how it’s ruining some content on the Internet, but for code related tasks, its going to dramatically change the world for the better.

You plant shit seeds, you get shit weeds. I hate the fact that Reddit has grown since I bailed over for API changes. It hurts my soul knowing I did the right thing and bailed but the vast majority of people who were pissed off at Reddit ended up back on the platform.

You pass butter…

Thanks for sharing! Cute video that articulated the training process surprisingly well.

You can tell I’m more of a front-end guy 😄

A huge yet underappreciated impact on the modern world. People don’t realize how much work goes on behind the scenes to bring those apps/websites to life.

Thank you for all your contributions Simon. Rest in peace sir.

Aye, most of my 10 year career in web dev is pretty much those commands. However, some advanced git concepts are worth diving into. Stuff like git bisect that can narrow down the exact commit that broke your app is an absolute life saver. Knowing how to git cherry-pick is also a git skill professionals should be comfortable doing. Migrating work from one branch to another without merging the entire branch is pretty common.
