I was told I have to adopt agentic AI or I can’t be promised to stay around for too long.

Meanwhile I’m catching all the slop the other devs submit.

I don’t get it. This is will destroy people already bad at coding in the long run, then people like me who really don’t want to implement an agentic (whatever that is) but find all the flaws in the PR, get burned in the long run.

If you’re talking in terms of a Turing Machine, it’s deterministic. You made it a precondition.

model: a system of postulates, data, and inferences presented as a mathematical description of an entity or state of affairs

But to really argue against your statement of mathematics (and turning machines) it would hold true if Large Language Models were deterministic. They are not.

No. It literally does it. Like the hardware literally does a mathematical computation. It (and all computers) simulate numbers beyond a certain precision?

That’s not how a model works.

Why?

It’s an LLM.

It can’t be conscious. It’s a model. Of text.

Majority of ML/Software Engineers report zero CEOs listened to them about it.

That’s actually a great point that I did overlook.

You know, this really has me pondering my projects architecture. We have tiers of services.

At the top, we have the UI. Then we have a “consumer” an “orchestra” and a “data” tier.

Data is the tier that exclusively talks to databases. Orchestra talks to the multiple data services. A good chunk of business logic is here. Consumer uses the orchestra and handles UI requests.

All it essentially does is split the monolith into 3 services at minimum. And since it’s on the cloud, there’s a start up cost where we need to spin up 3 machines instead of whatever you can do with microservices. What benefit do I get?

The managers do say “move fast and break things.”

They don’t like it when we do which is odd.

Been there too OP. Not a good place.

It’s usually easier to find another job, it will reset your mind, and fear won’t be driving you.

Or you could just commit what you have, comment “YOLO” and auto resolve conflicts and push.

The concept of foreign languages in code confuses and frightens me

Yep. You’re right.

I couldn’t possibly think anyone would do that with CSS which is why it caught me off guard.

Wait, that last one. It’s a syntax I don’t recognize. What is this slightly less nonsensical design?

Hehehehe

You absolutely won’t be disappointed by explosing your database to SQL directly from the API.

It’s the plan I make my employer pay for until they let me stop using it.

Jesus fuck we’re doomed.

Is this why a bunch of us senior engineers have been forced into a product owner role?

Because we can somehow deal with string parsing better? Jesus fuck we’re doomed
