AI ruins motivation to develop myself as a software engineerHi, guys!I'm a software engineer in about 5 years. I still like programming. This kind of programming when you just sit down in front of your computer and write code in an editor. I like Emacs and use it for all types of my development. But working in an enterprise company upsets me.I collected a few points that frustrates me.AI changed trade offs and my coworkers started producing insane amount of code and almost everything was AI generated. It is nice when people perform more but we've got a situation when one guy generates a lot of code and wins a few days of work but another guy spends a few day to read all of this. For me it feels like shifted productivity. Someone get, someone lose.Documentations are fully generated by AI. A month ago I needed to review coworker's feature doc. and I was destroyed by this text. English is not our mother tongue but we have to write docs in English that is totally fine. But this text was absolute unreadable. There were a lot of unknown, unexplained terms that we invented by AI. Amount of text was insane. Honestly, I tried to read it in two days until I gave up and feed all this text into AI assistant to prepare short description.Newly hired developers are silent. In my development experience it is like a nonsense. When you dive into a project your have to have questions about something, like domain, stack, some decisions. But now there is not question. AI allows you instantly write a code that makes no sense but disguised as good and reasonable.AI tools scary and annoy me. When I work, I like to exactly understand what happens in my computer in the current time. But now I see how full access delegation of the computer to an AI Agent became an industry standard. And when you anyway decide to try something then it is outdated in a month and you need install and learn smt new.And all this points ruin my motivation because I do not see signs that guys who understand (or tries to understand) what's happening in program is relevant in a market. I see how managers push us to install all this stuff blindly and just give x10 productivity, somehow.Does anyone have something like that? How do you deal with it?redd.it/1vhbztj@r_emacs
