  • Even The Most Advanced Ai

    Thank goodness I became a senior software engineer on my own merit long befor and without AI. At least when I create something new now, I can keep my digni about it, even if I use SOME AI help in the process. ;)

    Not only did I manage to do that also, I managed to retire right before it became a thing... "it" being AI programming.

    Granted, my career was nearly entirely with COBOL, and most of the AI
    coding seems to not be. I have been reading lately that some companies
    are trying to get AI trained on COBOL so the models can either maintain or replace it.

    I did as well. And I'm just recently starting to use AI more with software projects. It think it really helps to know how to do it "manually".

    This will probably be a problem I will eventually run into. I know how to
    do it manually in a language or two, but having been using AI to assist
    with projects in languages I do not know... the ones that I don't find
    logical but are what everything modern is coded in and that many
    programmers like because their bosses cannot read them. ;)

    So I let AI work on that stuff and hope I can use AI to fix it if it
    doesn't work. ;)
