The ball is on their court
Nothing is set in stone other than the fact the way software engineerind is done.
Hoping my browser gets some love in the near future
Bottom line: there is no true ownership in the upper level so why should I take ownership in a product based on garbage produced documentation specs?
The company that made me unsubscribe from Evernote after 8 years because it got slow, buggy and skyrocketed their prices.
Good riddance, now I am using Obsidian + an LLM and works way better.
Lately I think I only argue when I know I will get something about it...
I loved this method so much that in my first formal logic test I tried to solve all of the problems via this method. It was a fun experience lol
What I really hate is agentic customer support, sales etc. - when you have to use them you realize how stupid the workflows, tool call, MCP, and all that garbage that is glued is just to reduce costs instead of churn.
PS: Ironically I'm working on coding an "agentic platform" for the product suite and their backend services. I simply don't feel confident about the product I'm building but I guess it is paying my bills for the moment
Answering your questions:
On my job we've been spoon fed to use GH copilot everywhere we can. It's been configured to review PRs, make corrections etc. - I'd say it's good enough but from time to time it will raise false positives on issues. I'd say it works fine but you still need to keep an eye on generated BS.
I've seen coworkers show me amazing stuff done with agentic coding and I've seen coworkers open up slop PRs with bunch of garbage generated code which is kind of annoying, but I'll let it slide...
Stack - .NET, Angular, SQL Server and ofc hosted in Azure.
Team is composed of about 100 engineers (devs, QA, devops etc.) and from what I can see there are no Juniors, which is sad to see if you ask me
- When tests didn't work I had to check what was going on and the LLMs do cheat a lot with Volkswagen tests, so that began to make me skeptic even of what is being written by the agents
- When things were broken, spaghetti and awful code tends to be written in an obnoxius way it's beyond repairable and made me wish I had done it from scratch.
Thankfully I just tried using agents for tests and not for the actual code, but it makes me think a lot if "vibe coding" really produces quality work.
For cheaper guys like me, I'll just give my son indie and low graphic games which he enjoys
As for shooters this is the same. Too many weapons classes and subclasses, maps, game modes eventually divide and distract the playerbase from the core essence of the game.
I think this is one of the reasons that you still see Counter Strike still around.
In my experience I get more Angular & Vue offers than C# and React. For what is worth I'm convinced that across the industry React jobs wages are lower. Who knows, I could be closed in my own bubble but am pretty sure the pool of react devs is bigger and this might be the reason.
