Except a large number of coders. I worked as a software engineer for a while and I can see how. It wasn’t long before I no longer took any pride in the boring software I wrote for the company whose mission meant nothing to me. I would absolutely be using AI if I was still there. The code I write now is for personal satisfaction and enrichment though, so I do it myself.
I mean there’s plenty of people with absolutely no professionalism or pride in their work in every industry
Yes, of course! Software engineers are not broadly unique. They(we) might be uniquely interacted with genai, though.
Yeah I tried coding with ai assistance and it just made me mad. I spent all my time reading and correcting shitty code, which is literally the worst part of the job.
