definitely a refreshing dose of reality check from AWS in the era of AI assisted code development 😂 they are saying this after pushing AI hard at Amazon followed by massive outages at AWS itself.

@nixCraft this tweet is not real right?

@dries it's always a good idea to check the sources, but in this case it is real https://x.com/awscloud/status/2064449711155589396 @nixCraft

they are saying this after pushing AI hard at Amazon followed by massive outages at AWS itself. The reality is AI can spit out 5000 lines of code in seconds, but writing code isn't the bottleneck reviewing, debugging, and maintaining it is. You always need humans to double check everything because it is not reliable enough to do anything on its own@nixCraft Reminds me of this article:
https://www.online.uc.edu/blog/artificial-intelligence-ai-benefits.htmlBenefits of ai.
Each article: "It could."
Not 'it does", or "it can".
It could.Nope.

... not to mention having the necessary clarity of what to actually write. In my experience the actualy programming better not be the bulk of the work. Yet nothing changes, the programmers writing tons of code where (and are i guess) very often regarded as very productive; Just as the ones writing code nobody understands. For some this seems to still hold for programming machines.

The fewest lines of logic staying within the guardrails of the architecture to achieve the goal.
Changing the architecture should be a big deal with a lot of thought put into it.
The LLMs have no memory and no consistency. They start new with every request. Every output can introduce a new architecture or add new dependencies in form of frameworks or libraries.
... Unmaintainable

Also design.
Review/test/rewrite is made worse by LLM use. -

We made AI, we know AI. Problems started when they want to make money with AI.
