AI isn't perfect. But Christ, anybody who points to the problems at AI had better be looking in the mirror and pointing at themselves at the same time.

Ya, I was a terrible developer before, now I'm still terrible but faster. LOL

I will never use AI unless I am paid to like I currently am. I am not a worse developer for it. I have been learning software engineering continuously my entire life. I am completely self taught for over a decade professionally and longer than that in my free time. I have no university degree. I grew up in poverty in nowheresville Kentucky.

I don't need an LLM to learn or succeed. LLMs literally need people like me. I am sad Linus cant see it that way, but never meet your heroes so they say. l

I'm not sure you understood. That quote is defending against AI haters

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

No I think that quote is attacking AI haters. Hes saying the people who say ai code has issues should look in the mirror because so does theirs.

[–] Bazoogle@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That's what I said. AI haters are attacking, and he was defending against them, telling them to look in a mirror
