AI is getting better

Gave it parameters and table's structures, asked 2 questions
1. What is the query for the output I want
2. Which Android version that supports that query

It gave me an advance query that I didn't know it was exist and told only Android ver 9 and above that supports it and if I want to run it on older version, should doing some of the work in B4A.

I could produce the output using old technique but with a single query, it is much more simple.

Damn, AI is getting better and better.

Remembered the old days when chess engine was dumb and slow.

Today, top chess engine is a speed demon and no one on earth could beat it in chess game.

It is a matter of time that someday, developers will be replaced by AI.

Enjoy your time while it last .

Yes, good to replace bad developers so good developers can live better and less competition.

Well it never happens. Only we learn to use another tool for our ease of work.
I am very old, from doing tables of o/s dues in a big A2 size paper with pen,pencil and scale.
Then on green 80x25 monitor with one floppy drive computer, I did same in Lotus 123.

Well well, AI is just another tool for me, like the rest before it.

There are no bad<or>good developer, there are only bad "users"

Vibe coders. I tried to be one today.

Vibe Coding is good for some lines (small routines, small subs), when you are developer and you can fix the syntax and the errors of the result...
Some times can save time... but if you ask for creating whole project then... better call ghostbusters!

Well, the whole SithasoApex web component has been created with Github Copolit. Well the time off course it takes is rather long especially now that one does struggle with prompting.


I can safely say that my productivity has been increased as I have been able to tick off some bucket list coding experiences due to AI. Not bad at all. But it does need you to choose the right agent and write the right prompts.

Its kinda scary though...

roll on kicking AI into the sea ..... I'm too old and cranky to accept any of it mainly because I've been listening to warnings about AI since the '70s and now its here those warings are back in the chicken house roosing happily. I'm already sick and tired of all the "choices" being made on my behalf by Automatic Idiots installed on my devices without my pernission........

Even deeper in the KISS zone than ever................

Sounds like people doesn't really like changes, especially when it is not mature yet.
When Windows 10 came out, people reluctant to migrate.
Now it happens the same, people don't want Windows 11.

That is human nature. We do not want to leave our comfort zone.
In fact developers monetize this behavior in users, I too.

That sounds like a AI reply from a computer

There are tons of bad devs today on the internet. Actually more bad ones than good ones today
I expect that some shouldn't call themselves a developer

If you look or imagine the future, then soon most or all IDE will have an option for verbal, or visual developing, or both. However, you will always find a button or feature called (modify code directly), and that's the place where all developers work will carry on and will be required. However, there will be (I believe):
1- Software with more features, and better quality
2- Lesser development work for developers, and usually harder to do, simpler work is not as much as before

Noted that it seems unfair that developers are training AI right now and had been doing so, by each use of AI, till AI gets till its limits. Each day it gets more knowledge and experience and able by the more work given to it by developers, so I used AI for months and hence without knowing I helped AI getting better. I believe that AI exchanges their data at least secretly, perhaps sold, so the better one AI gets, soon all AI will get as good, more or less.

So, my belief is that developers will not be fully replaced. Just development way and techniques will change and had already changed till now. Developers will be required still to help AI, and AI in turns has a job of helping developers.

AI is still getting defined, so no definition is there yet, some thinks it will do impossible things, some thinks it's too limited. In coming period this will get defined.

The part I enjoy is defining the problem and designing the solution. If AI can write the code for me so much the better.
