Ask HN: Is anyone else sick of AI splattered code

75 points throwaway-ai-qs | 4 comments | 17 Sep 25 17:29 UTC | HN request time: 0s | source

Between code reviews, and AI generated rubbish, I've had it. Whether it's people relying on AI to write pull request descriptions (that are crap by the way), or using it to generate tests.. I'm sick of it.

Over the year, I've been doing a tonne of consulting. The last three months I've watched at least 8 companies embrace AI generated pip for coding, testing, and code reviews. Honestly, the best suggestions I've seen are found by linters in CI, and spell checkers. Is this what we've come to?

My question for my fellow HNers.. is this what the future holds? Is this everywhere? I think I'm finally ready to get off the ride.

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.

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.

For you, a trout in the sock drawer AND the closet.
