minus-squareMajorHavoc@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up50arrow-down1·edit-24 months agoAs a software development expert, I take issue with “our entire field is bad at what we do, and if you rely on us, everyone will die.” That’s way off base. She under-stated the hell out of that. Our average practitioner is bad at both their own job, and at the jobs of those whose lives their shoddy work complicates. Anyone trusting us with their lives or livelihood should be very very alarmed. We’re also now producing artificial intelligence tools that allow us to do equally shoddy work, but now in dramatically greater quantity. Edit: Let’s say this is 60/40 sarcasm and sincere, and I’m not sure which is the 60%… I work with some of the best, and I’ve worked with plenty of the worst. I’ve also been both, on different days.
