Ask HN: Am I getting old, or is working with AI juniors becoming a nightmare?

Yea, the development process is changing rapidly now. We are in this transitional period. I have not idea where we will end up but it will be different place vs were we were like 1 year ago.

>So what do you guys think? Is this the future?

Yes. The feature is quickly produced slop. Future LLMs will train on it too, getting even more sloppy. And "fresh out of uni juniors" and "outsourced my work to AI" seniors wont know any better.

There seems to be a disconnect, with some people claiming they don't write code any more, only specs, and me trying to get Copilot to fix a stupid sizing bug in our layout engine and it Not Getting It.

Is this because the guys claiming success are working in popular, known, more limited areas like Javascript in web pages, and the people outside those, with more complex systems, don't get the same results ?

I also note that most of the "Don't code any more" guys have AI tools of their own to promote...
