The Green Knight

@nixCraft all the managers at my job are practically demanding we use AI generated code for all our projects.

they're also asking me, specifically, to rewrite an entire codebase that's something like 3 million lines of code with something like 300 classes from one language to another. "just use chatgpt"

@GreenKnight23 @nixCraft «Please feed our proprietary code base into ChatGPT» - it is time to invoke the sheriff from The Mandalorian: «Think it through»

@toriver @GreenKnight23 @nixCraft me an unbaerable edgelord and foss fan: Do it!

@GreenKnight23 @nixCraft bunch of retards I guess? Imagine any remotely important software developed like that. Like, someone may not get killed but run into serious trouble.
We're building a far less unreliable world step by step. There's no f* shortcut for getting things done the right way.

@kikebenlloch @nixCraft no, it's about as bad as you can imagine.

The software I maintain supports everything from government to medical and is peppered with ecommerce.

I'm currently looking for a new job because I honestly can't take this absurdity for another year.

@GreenKnight23 @nixCraft Do you think you'll ever say out loud, "It's so easy now, even you could do it. Go on then."

@freequaybuoy @nixCraft it will likely be my last act of defiance.

mangers like these take all the pride out of our work, unfortunately for them all I have left is contempt to give them. contempt five days a week, from nine to five. no more, no less.

@GreenKnight23 @nixCraft You could add, "Documentation? Who needs documentation, you can just ask ChatGPT."
