    AI is yet another technology that enables morons to think they can cut out the middleman of programming staff, only to very quickly realise that we’re more than just monkeys with typewriters.

        I was going to post a note about typewriters, allegedly from Tom Hanks, which I saw years and years ago; but I can’t find it.

        Turns out there’s a lot of Tom Hanks typewriter content out there.

          He donated his to my hs randomly, it was supposed to goto the valedictorian but the school kept it lmao, it was so funny because they showed everyone a video where he says not to keep the typewriter and its for a student

        i have a mobile touchscreen typewriter, but it isn’t very effective at writing code.

        But then they’d have a dev team who wrote the code and therefore knows how it works.

        In this case, the hackers might understand the code better than the “author” because they’ve been working in it longer.

        True, any software can be vulnerable to attack.

        but the difference is a technical team of software developers can mitigate an attack and patch it. This guy has no tech support than the AI that sold him the faulty code that likely assumed he did the proper hardening of his environment (which he did not).

        Openly admitting you programmed anything with AI only is admitting you haven’t done the basic steps to protecting yourself or your customers.
