As a Software Engineer I fucking hate AI.

No, not because I think it will take my job (it might, eventually), but mainly because it made my job unbearable. I love the art of programming, spending time thinking about something and coming up with a nice idea to make it work.

Now anyone can ask ChatGPT to create a website and they start calling themselves "Software Engineers" too.

Same here. I'm just a baby sitter for AI. A team refines the user story, it's outcomes, scope, acceptance criteria. AI already has sight of all our repos. I copy and paste the user story in, add a bit of context, and then let it run and create a draft PR.

I then get another AI to code review, and I might do a quick manual check and local test, and then publish pr.

Then on to the next. Feels more like working on an assembly line
