Mostly a back end dev, but I'm happy to learn new things to work on a new project. I write real code, not AI slop. I believe in writing tests and going the extra mile to deliver a good UX.

No hate mate it's real that ai can really code anything u need but the brutal fact is you need to be much smarter to validate its code all I can see is skill and xp issue. But as Rust node Js dev I made ultra fast http framework using AI with just 200 lines of code it had beaten fastify hono and express. It's all possible just because of my xp in ffi and Rust with node js Architect lessons.

I'm sick of AI everything. Every day I hope today is the day the grift machine finally implodes.

In the short term it's going to make things suck even more, but I'm ready to rip that bandaid off.

P.S. To anyone that is about to reply to this, or downvote it, to tell me that AI is the future, you should be aware that I also hope someone places a rotting trout in your sock drawer each day.
