People who scream "AI will replace developers (devops/sysadmins/whoever)" don't understand the concept of institutional knowledge.

@drq IME, they think they could just tell LLM to rebuild everything to be «as everyone does»
@mo And how is it - "as everyone does"? What does it mean? As everyone in the world does? Basic primitives, standards and good practices are all well and good, and may get it far as an assistance tool, but go a level higher - and there's suddenly no one true single way to do pretty much anything: you can combine those primitive patterns in billions of ways. As everyone does in a company? Well, this kind of stuff ain't really written anywhere, including the company wiki, it's only learned through sustained interaction, and it also moves constantly as the context around and inside the company changes.
@drq they would copy Google, or other big company with enough hype. Will it be good? Probably not very. Will that be enough to fire old engineers? Probably not too. Will they do it anyway? Probably yes
@drq the problem part is, these people are common in upper management
Проблема в том, что в некоторых ситуациях создаётся ложное впечатление, что ИИ даёт прирост производительности. Ну и как бы да, он может его давать в моменте. Менеджеры и инвесторы за это хватаются и начинают заставлять всех пользоваться ИИ. А что там будет в долгосрочной перспективе их вообще не волнует
