We reserve it for the “hitler did nothing wrong” crowd.

I don’t care if it’s edgy or ironic or earnest because I have no way to know that. Also, if you fuck goats just to be edgy you’re still a goat fucker.

Nazi YouTubers fuck off.

What? Who are we in this case? Because we as a community do know how to. The question is does our Stakeholders know that it may cost more and do they even care?

This really pisses me off. Do you think civil engineers would build unsafe bridges because “stakeholders” told them to? No, because they would go to fucking jail.

We are a fucking disgrace. We need software liability laws because apparently we can’t stand up for ourselves and our profession.

I was being deliberately combative, but there’s a kernel of truth. Our discipline had been at it for decades and we have no idea how to write maintainable, secure, usable software. Most of the things we write are neither of those things, despite our very best efforts. As an engineering discipline, we failed miserably.

That said, AI is definitely not going to improve things. It’s going to make things worse. Much much worse.

I mean, have you seen “professionally developed software” up close?

At least the AI slop is improving.
