The age of "Software Deslopers" is coming

2•shudv•42m ago
Soon, the software industry is going to realise that all the code that was rapidly (and carelessly) generated in pursuit of "100x" productivity has become a liability and the AI that promised to free up everyone has become the core dependency, without which the system just cannot move forward.

At that point, we are going to need the "software deslopers" who are just the old software developers, the vibe-less coders, just with a new title that makes them employable once again :)

Still holding out hope!

Mixed feelings about this, the thing about AI slop is there's an option B where you just throw it out because you're not committed to what it had produced and not having it is even better than spending big to have it be good.

I took on a contract recently to fix up an AI-generated SaaS, I was low-key impressed with the consistency and general quality and structure, but what was missing... uploading files, platform registrations and payouts, payments, booking management, notifications, administrative tools, they wanted a small-scale AirBnb-like service and AI had built them a UI showing mock listings. Whole project ended up in the trash when they realized how much work was left.
