I have encountered processes that even Task Manager could not kill.

Not all heroes wear capes. You're saving their butts, and they don't know it.

Little Timmy would have probably spent it on drugs anyway. That there's drug money!

In my experience, the job of a sr. revolves around expectations. Expectations of yourself, of the customer, of your bosses, of your juniors and individual contributors working with you or that you're tasking. Managing the expectations and understanding how these things go to protect your guys and gals and trying to save management from poking out their own eyes.

And you may actually have time to do some programming.

No, it's not coming back like the title indicates. This is by zero of the original people and none of the original code. It's a clone, of which there are many better ones, as the article content explains.

This is a scam abusing a legal loophole (sniping the trademark) to sound official.

You know you’re Sr. when it doesn’t even bother you anymore. It amuses you.

Great! Implemented correctly, this should help improve security in snatch-and-run phone theft situations.

I don’t think my shorter showers are gonna put much of a dent in this.

Hey guys I know it’s wild but there might be some corruption going on in the Supreme Court.

Sometimes you even get newer and more interesting bugs!

I’m not sure how AI supposed to understand code. Most of the code out there is garbage. Even most of the working code out there in the world today is garbage.

AI can be a useful tool, but it’s not a substitute for actual expertise. More reviews might patch over the problem, but at the end of the day, you need a competent software developer who understands the business case, risk profile, and concrete needs to take responsibility for the code if that code is actually important.

AI is not particularly good at coding, and it’s not particularly good at the human side of engineering either. AI is cheap. It’s the outsourcing problem all over again and with extra steps of having an algorithm hide the indirection between the expertise you need and the product you’re selling.
