To be 100% fair, having only one provider for backups is really risky. A minimum 3-2-1 would be better

I'm getting this patern a lot on Prestashop websites, where thousand, to not say hundreds of thousand, of request are coming from bots not announcing themselves in the User-agent, and coming from different IP's

Very annoying. And you can't filter them because they look like legitimate trafic.

On a page with differents options (such as color, size, etc...) they'll try all the combinaisons, eating all the ressources.

And like everyone else you trained the AI how to replace you by giving it more insight on how to prompt stuff.

This and a Z80 assembler book to speed up a bit code because the basic was really too slow to do anything (had the 16k memory extention too because 800 and something octet were not enough)

IMHO you can and should.

AI is a great assistant. Letting go the more experienced dev is a bad move.

We work in a field where you should understand what it is you're doing.

We had a wave of "dev" who where told that assembling libraries and API as Lego is the way. It's only a sub part.

Now with the AI fuzz, people think it's kind of magic and do everything by its own. It's not.

You can gain a lot of time with AI if you know how to prompt and are capable to understand what it spits out.

But beting the future of your business on less experimented junior for saving a couple thousand dollars is not a clever move.

(Again, my opinion)

Agreed.

So it should be an independant app and not be part of a gaming system that have nothing to do installed by default on a pro computer.

When I needed this functionality and find out it was on the game bar I too was a bit shocked finding out it was installed !

At first I thought you were a bit contemptuous. After all, we don't know what OP is really doing on the net.

But after reading a lot of the other comments, I think you're on to something. A lot of people mistake social media with the Internet (not saying OP or any one here is), showing that they (SM) somehow won (for now) and it's sad.

It's the nineties back again, when most ISP logged you in their application (looking at you AOL) or on their website. People open their phone and go directly on Instagram, Fb, or whatever, and they're "on the web" they think.

New comment by JeanMarcS in "Survey: a third of senior developers say over half their code is AI-generated"

JeanMarcS — Mon, 01 Sep 2025 11:51:12 +0000

This. For me (senior as in I am in the field since last century), that's how I use it. "I want to do that, with this data, to obtain that"

I still do the part of my job that I got experience on, analyze the need, and use the AI like an assistant to do small libraries or part of code. Like these, errors have less chance to appear. Then I glue that together.

For me the time ratio is best use like that. If I have to describe the whole thing, I'm not far from doing it myself, so there's no need for me.

Important: I work alone, not in a team, so maybe it has an impact on my thought

I would add the search of an error message while developing. Mostly using the search engines for that.

But hey ! Now you can ask ChatGPT, Copilot or whatever for the same thing !
