Last week, Salma Alam-Naylor published an article on AI called The promise that wasn’t kept.
In it, she writes…
data from the 2024 Accelerate State of DevOps Report from DORA shows that widespread AI adoption in the software industry is contributing to a real and meaningful decline in software delivery performance.
In the article, she digs into what makes code valuable, what makes it enjoyable to write, and how being a craftsperson is more about understanding the medium than using specific tools (something I’ve written about before as well).
Over on Bluesky, Pavel Samsonov summed it all up nicely with this response…
AI may be the first anti-automation tool in that it has automated the thing devs like to do (write code) and stuck them with more of what they don’t like to do (fix someone else’s bad code)
I hate AI with every fiber of my being.
- It’s environmentally destructive.
- It’s theft without attribution.
- It makes our work worse.
- It’s wrong a lot.
- It does the fun stuff and sticks us with the boring shit.
If you feel the same way, I encourage you to rage against the AI machine with me.
