    They are excited that they can learn a tool that uses English to write their business logic. It’s not about AI making it easier for technical folks, it’s about to eventually getting rid of technical folks entirely. Or as much as they can feasibly get away with.

      Right. Ownership doesn’t want to pay for labor. They want to keep all the money for themselves.

      Which makes it funny (in a sad way) when all these tech folks, who are labor, are super on board with this whole thing. You’re digging your own grave.

        I’m starting to learn it deeper. I hate it. I don’t have a career if programming goes away though so I guess I’m making a deal with the devil while I try to find an exit strategy.

          You don’t have to worry long term. The only issue is how hard your boss falls for the snake oil sales pitch.

            I don’t think LLM’s are going away. OpenAI will die, Claude will jack up their prices to match their cost, but the technology isn’t going away. At least until the next iteration shows up.

              What’s also not going away is the truth of their actual abilities. The only people who really have to worry are the ones in the entertainment industry.
