Jay on Nostr: Script kiddies who can suddenly generate much, much larger "scripts" than ever ...

Script kiddies who can suddenly generate much, much larger "scripts" than ever before, but with the exact same dynamics as before.

People who know what each line of code does in a system still have an edge in a post-AI world. It's just that there is exponentially more code that is not understood by anyone that's running live. I get depressed when I think about it but it's not exactly new. It's exactly what you'd expect from an industry that already pushed code it mostly didn't understand, and now has the tools to do it faster.

It's much easier to know what your code does if you plan and write it yourself, and remain present and mindful as it grows, even if you do leverage AI tools, and stay close to the code and its details. And that has always been true.
