otoh, the ai solutions became more powerful since i wrote the blog series which pushed the boundaries a bit. still, demanding custom quirks that do not fit into a higher level abstraction everywhere takes its toll in terms of complexity – and may quickly go beyond the abilities of an ai solution /e

for prototypes, i fully agree.

however, if you build (big) production-ready systems, i think, a few simple prompts in lovable or alike will not do the trick. you will need to specify things in much more detail and chances are that you break the abilities of the ai coding solution. /1

nevertheless, ai technology used in a sensible way can be very useful. but due to the "silver bullet" attitude in wide parts of the market (pushed by the profiteers of such an attitude), ai currently is pushed more often with brute force than used in a sensible way ... :/ 2/2

yup, agreed ... :) ... i did not intend to claim that everything is nice and perfect at the software engineer's side (lots of room for improvement). my point was that ai will not solve the underlying problems and if used mindlessly, it most likely will reinforce those problems 1/2

ah, okay. thx. did not know that tool yet. anyway, did not intend to limit the discussion on such tools

hmm … i did not intend to exclude any kind of genai-assisted or -based sw dev. but maybe i do not understand what you mean with „lovable“

well, the agents are what the market currently pushes. that is why i focus on it. that being said, i think that genai can do a lot of good things in sw dev. for me the problems start if we use the technology as an excuse not to address existing problems (which is what i see again with genai).

man möchte manchmal schon an der kollektiven und teilweise auch individuellen intelligenz der spezies mensch zweifeln … :)

ich arbeite mittlerweile nach dem prinzip „choose your battles“. das erhält auch den notwendigen spaß.

nur manchmal kann man sich den „battle“ halt nicht aussuchen. nun ja …

ja. insgesamt habe ich das gefühl, dass es mittlerweile viel beliebter ist, von einer extremen position heraus auf alles einzuprügeln, was nicht genauso extrem ist als einen dialog mit dem ziel eines sinnvollen kompromisses anzustreben (viele menschen empfinden bereits „kompromiss“ als feindbild)
