AI is going to create endless jobs by allowing everyone to make a huge mess.
We are currently in the early phase where people are creating code messes with little oversight and future people will be expected to build on them, which will either take expanded effort or complete re-writes from scratch.
The quality of all products will suffer for the foreseeable future.
It's now a several times a day occurrence for me of trying to help someone figure out a problem, and when I ask them why they did that, the answer is always that the AI told them to.
If the people that are using these tools don't know right from wrong, it's a recipe for disaster.
This problem is amplified in non-technical fields where people are creating tools for businesses without even the knowledge of what a code review is.
AI will be around forever, and the problems it will create are immeasurable, but unfortunately, it will likely always be seen as the solution to the problem as well.
first you have to decide if you want juniors that are able to push tasks through and be guided by a senior, as the juniors won't understand what they are doing or why the AI is telling them to do it "wrong".
senior developers already know how to use AI tools effectively, and are often just as fast as AI, so they only get the benefits out of scaffolding.
really everything comes down to planning, and your success isn't going to come down to people using AI tools, it will come down to the people guiding the process, namely project managers, designers, and the architects and senior developers that will help realize the vision.
juniors that can push tasks to completion can only be valuable if they have proper guidance, otherwise you'll just be making spaghetti.
Base64 is a bytes-to-ASCII encoding and does not magically transport file system metadata such as owner and suid bit.
The sudo binary has no special powers by its mere byte content.
In this case it's literally as simple as not developing anything while playing around with a live wallet that has hundreds of thousands of dollars in it.
It's like trying to do vehicle maintenance while your car is running.
It might be technically possible.. but why would you ever do that?
