These people are better at using AI than like 99% of everybody, since they are actually critically and carefully reviewing its output.
One of the big problems with actually using AI for work is that, even for people who carefully and critically review it, sometimes, it is just too good at making slop look like something real.
Also having the discipline to do an actual proper review of the output is hard. I bet that gets skipped s lot even for people who know better.
Some of the hardest part in software development are testing, validation, code review, is so tedious, the majority of people don’t like to do it so is hard to find qualified people and so on. This AI thing just put way more stress in the already dire part of the whole development.
our new manager changed our workflow so that all devs are responsible for merging into production for their feature
what this means now is a dev can create a pr, merge to our test environment, pass QA and he can merge straight into production
had our first vibe coded bug in production last week
I wasn’t involved in any of the reviews and previously I was the sole implementor and I would review everything
It’s amazing how fast AI can provide an answer to almost anything.
It’s like I’m extremely fast at calculating.
If you ask what is 257 time 389 I can give you an answer in a split second.
4809!! It’s obviously wrong, but it’s FAST!
If you ask what is 257 time 389 I can give you an answer in a split second. 4809!!
So awesome! Would you like some billion dollars venture capital?
About time someone came with an offer, thank you I think I deserve it. And I’m sure you will be very happy with the speed improvements I can provide.
I love how complex and confident sounding some of the replies are, and then you click to see the “reasoning” and it’s something like:
Alright I’m diving in into the concept of numbers. First, I need to understand what a digit is. Digits are the protrusions that are often found at the edge of a human hand. Wait, that is incorrect, digits are mathematical symbols. I’m making progress, my search results suggest that digits can be both mathematical unitary symbols and human anatomy terms. The user asked for the result of 1+1, I’ll invoke the Python agent and code the operation, analyze the input, and re-frame the answer. It appears the Python agent returned with a malformed output, I’ll check the logs. I’m frustrated - the code is clean and the operation should have worked. I’ve found the error! The output “NameError” clearly indicates that I’ve accidentally mixed data types in Python, I’ve been crunching through a fix and am confident the calculations will proceed smoothly. Writing final answer, factoring in the user recently asked about the job market in 2026.
Based on the current job market and listings found on online sources like LinkedIn, you will appreciate that the answer to the expression 1+1 is 2, would you like me to create a graph showcasing this discovery so you can boost engagement on your LinkedIn Profile?
The inefficiency for each query is bizarre.
If you want to add 1 and 1 together, you must first invent the universe.
