I lost my job earlier this year, yes I think I can guilt trip everyone reading this, I'm homelander I can do whatever I want.
But seriously, I have a couple of things I have to get off my chest.
Yes! The AI marketing is getting to me, and trust me it's not a skill issue, or maybe it is.
Been using AI for a minute for now, and do I love and hate it, yes, just so we are clear I am not really trying to pull a neutral party, it's not that kind of party and definitely not ... honestly never mind.
Since 2024 or is it 23 (nope '24) , was the origin of what we call today, a coding agent, or rather an employee. Oh Devin! what an embarrassing launch, reminds me when I was 6 years old, I shit my pants, definitely not a good look, I switched schools; I did notice the acquisition, let's get the diapers situation. Anyway, we still need to give props to coding agents, what a celebrity moment, every week there's either a new one or a new entry on the changelog, by the way I am also building one (shameless... nope ... fork it, have fun). With every model update I was sort off scared and I'll basically tell you why,
I was what the world would call nowadays a Javascript engineer, broke up with prototypes and chose a better babe Typescript, my love and basically every roster that's around it, be it React, Next, Vue... trying to limit my words. I interacted with a lot of the vibe code your idea into a production app, yes I tried most of them (I won't plug them but one is v0.dev, bolt.new, jules.google.com), to be honest the company that hired me initially as a junior engineer would have made money on using this tech, makes sense why they retrenched, we got too expensive. Anyways, the reason I was scared was that this things could basically pull up any repo they got trained on, omg Github was the opposition before but I didn't know it was a King Von situation, just give to them, MIT licensed repos were preyed upon like models(not the code kind, humankind, just the other kind you are thinking of).
