“Engineering”
Removed by mod
Yeah, well, like most software engineers lol
“prompt engineering” in itself is such an embarrassing term for the act of saying “computer uhhh show me epic boobies!!”
like that joke about calling dishwashing “submerged porcelain technician” but unironically
That’s why I’m proud to be also programming in HTML
Using an IDE isn’t programming either
But I’ll definitely prefer hiring someone who does. Sure, you can code in Vi without plugins, but why? Leave your elitism at home. We have deadlines and money to make.
Edit: The discussions I’ve had about AI here on Lemmy and Hackernews have seriously made me consider asking whether or not the candidate uses AI tools as an interview question, with the only correct answer a variation of “Yes I do”.
Boomer seniors scared of new tools is why Oracle is still around. I don’t want any of those on my team.
AI’s not bad, it just doesn’t save me time. For quick, simple things, I can do it myself faster than the AI. For more big, complex tasks, I find myself rigorously checking the AI’s code to make sure no new bugs or vulnerabilities are introduced. Instead of reviewing that code, I’d rather just write it myself and have the confidence that there are no glaring issues. Beyond more intelligent autocomplete, I don’t really have much of a need for AI when I program.
Bro if you could get there just by prompting, it would be.
There are no models good enough to just ask for something to be done and it gets done.
There will be someday though.
Build an entire ecosystem, with multiple frontends, apps, databases, admin portals. It needs to work with my industry. Make it run cheap on the cloud. Also make sure it’s pretty.
The prompts are getting so large we may need to make some sort of… Structured language to pipe into… a device that would… compile it all…
People in glass houses…
Software engineering isn’t engineering.
Sounds like someone’s worried about how easily replaced they’ll be in the future…
Sounds like science fiction. No proof that it’s useful right now except copy pasta from StackOverflow.
You sound like a class traitor
Realist, maybe. Often a pessimist. Never really a class traitor. Besides, I’m more blue collar than white collar, so I’ve never gotten the luxury of working from home at a higher pay, so as far as being the same class…in the sense of rich vs everyone else, sure.
Your snide comment just seemed a bit too glee about people about to lose their job. Or at least: lacking in solidarity with them.
Forget the distinction between blue and white collar, or higher and lower income: these aren’t classes and the distinction onlyserves toseparateus in class struggle. I meant the “wage dependant class here”.
