I thought ai was writing all the code. What do they need engineers for?

Laziness. Why else?

Fits perfectly with typical capitalistic short sightedness.

AI fans would say “this is what the spec is for”.

An interesting take.

You get lots of things for free when targeting JVM bytecode. GCs, JITs, interop with one of the largest and most battle tested ecosystems.

That's because LLMs suck.

Hilarious that Claude was used to make it.

I've noticed this a lot in LLM generated Java. Since it doesn't know what can or can't be null it tends to wrap everything in Optional. Super strong type systems are becoming even more important.

Ah the old “you’re holding it wrong” argument.

Absolutely naive if you think the capitalists will “deliver utopia”.

Ideas being expensive was a good thing.

AI is dogshit. No skill. No taste.

LOL LaCk oF eXpErIeNcE. Bro all you have to do is open intellij and it will prompt you to install the correct version of Java.

No you don't. The process is exactly the same for Java.
