for the record I think it's wonderful that non-programmers can now build software, and furthermore I think programmers should be ashamed that this is what it took to make computing accessible

programmers forget code they wrote 3 months ago if they haven't touched it and reacquainting oneself with it is a regular part of the process, no shit you're gonna have a shambling junk heap if it's all been codegened for a year
Just stumbled upon this. Teachable moment, mostly for management. Poor devs, they could have seen this coming.

What happens when a billion more people can build software?
AI is making programming easier. But building something shouldn't mean giving up control over where it runs or who owns it.

100x more programmers
AI could create a billion new programmers. But who controls what they build? Explore why open infrastructure, simpler networking, and freedom from AI vendor lock-in matter.

In the C programming language, you can create an endlessly-repeating loop with while (1), but some programmers prefer using for (;;) instead. The latter construct is called "the crying for", and it allows programmers to express the way they feel as they have to write C code.

haha yeah imagine if illustrators had to draw all these shapes, or authors had to write a bunch of words, that'd be like programmers having to problem solve and design software architecture! who does that
Arc Raiders devs Embark insist that using genAI for voice lines was necessary, as "actors would just go crazy if they had to read all of that" https://bit.ly/3UASIrI

when I started in computing there was this idea that C programming was serious programming for experts, and some C programmers seemed to have a chip on their shoulder about it, like writing it made them better programmers, while looking down on C# as being somehow lesser on account of being "safer"

Much of this has to do0 with the culture around coding itself. It often feels like programmers themselves see their work as something innately disposable; which is likely why so many programmers were quick to adopt LLMs into their workflows.
For some dumb fucking reason people are starting to think genAI code is different from genAI images/videos and it’s like.
Honey. They function identically. That is not hyperbole; it is 1:1.
But dumbasses think code is okay because it made some shit decomps of games.

Yup just saw a video of a game designer saying maybe vibe coding is okay because they didn’t like the programming
