alt Hacker NewsSo many efforts out there to alter the usage of the tool to regain control, when it's clear to me that the tool is the problem?
By which I mean, we should -- as software engineers -- be insisting on tools that put us in the driver's seat more.
Instead we're letting the agent drive. (I'm as guilty as this as anybody). But really we're letting Dario, Sam, Boris, etc. drive. And it should be clear from their public pronouncements and emissions that they don't have the best interests of our profession -- or the quality of software engineering generally -- in mind.
Yes, certainly, alter how you use the tools. But we need to fix the tools themselves.

That's an interesting idea, but if the tools are really the problem, is there an actual way that we can solve this? How?

And the company says "fuck you then, I'll fire you, and keep fewer coders, willing to keep the AI dance".
The role of AI as a tech is to put you out of the drivers seat as much as possible. All the way to job elimination.
Solution?
