Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

My area has bitten the bullet and is finally hiring new entry level programmers and teaching them. It's like for the last 15 years they were just hoping skilled programmers would get cheaper
Does it count to teach them ai? I’ve had this guy in India, working for me on and off for a couple years now. He’s really bright and was coming along nicely … then ai hit
His first like 6 months of ai use were horrible. Absolute junk that harmed the code more than made progress. My code reviews were brutal.
But he figured it out. He’s a heavy ai coder but it works. My code reviews rarely find issues anymore. It’s too early to know about maintainability, but his code looks good to me
No, we're not allowed to use AI for any design documents or code
Give it a while though and I'm sure that'll change
People are begging for LLM use in analysis, design, build, and test
Yeah, I do worry about that too. LLMs are good about putting together a professional looking document but they also tend to be verbose and with vague wording. I’m on a project now suffering because the design was really not reviewable. Now we’re trying to work on it and it’s really obvious the design was all bs
They actually expected gen-z would just pick up coding naturally because they grew up with smartphones. Peak boomer logic.
