re: What I don't know about AI could fill a book

Before you go calling me a dick again, know today (a saturday) he's on slack begging for help but got no responses. I jumped in an fixed a bunch of his roadblocks.

I bought a little waveshare esp32-s3 with a 1.5" display. Using codex in about 3 hours I had code reading data from another device via BLE, writing to a local SD card and presenting it via a web interface. It's quite remarkable how productive I can be. In the past this would have taken a while.

I have access to Claude code and codex at work with basically unlimited budget. The team uses these tools as well.
Our technical debt is growing rapidly, I think for general purpose stuff it's pretty useful. And can definitely save some time. However we are blowing through thousands of dollars of tokens to write very sophisticated markdown files because none of these models are consistent at writing coherent code that is maintainable.
We still have senior software developers in the approval chain for all merges, but Junior devs are really pushing in a lot slop we have to push back. Because all of these tools massively bloat the software base solving the same solutions 100 different ways
You need to gate your junior developers and teach them to enable planning mode and write out their markdown files very exact before pushing the generate code button.
The funny part is that we thought we would replace developers over time, but it's just pushed the issue of managing this software more on to your senior folks. They are going to be worth their weight in gold.
As usual when it comes to writing code there is huge divide between hobbyist make it work once solutions and solutions that need to work every time
Generally the hobbyist is the most outspoken believer of AI because it opens so much automation to their jobs. It just isn't long term software solutions

In a way that's reassuring. It makes some people capable of things they haven't done before, but requires software developers to figure out how to reign in or monitor vibe coding. So, nobody's losing their job anytime soon unless the LLMs improve tremendously and are economical.

I have built some unbelievable things with Claude that have made me look like a genius and also way more productive.
I had this idea years ago for an excel doc for when I work up bids to auto pull the pricing for the specific material as it’s typed, but couldn’t figure out how to write the complex formula (it’s pulling pricing from probably 20 different sheets). It one shotted it in 5 minutes. It feels like magic

We stopped hiring junior devs for a while but learned quickly if we don't train people and someone leaves we are screwed.
Employees need to know the process as much as they need to know how to code
