alt Hacker News>But no one ever mentions the hundreds of times it quietly wrote code that is better than most engineers can write.
Are you serious? I've been hearing this constantly. since mid 2025.
The gaslighting over AI is really something else.
Ive also never seen jobs advertised before whose job was to lobby skeptical engineers over about how to engage in technical work. This is entirely new. There is a priesthood developing over this.

I wrote code by hand for 20 years. Now I use AI for nearly all code. I just can’t compete in speed and thoroughness. As the post says, you must guide the AI still. But if you think you can continue working without AI in a competitive industry, I am absolutely sure you will eventually have a very bad time.
