Doc Edward Morbius ⭕​<p>When I hear about AI-based programming, I think back several decades to a time when I was dealing with a hairy set of data, and I wrote a pretty complex bit of code generating an even more complex bit of SQL. I don't remember now if it ended up proving useful or not, though I think it did. But that's not the point.</p><p>The point was when I came back to it after a few months ... I couldn't figure it out at all. Neither the generator, nor the generated code.</p><p>And <strong>I HAD WRITTEN IT</strong>. Myself, from scratch, sorting out what I wanted and how to get there.</p><p>There's a principle in programming that debugging and maintenance are far harder than coding. Which means you should never write code that <em>you</em> are <em>too stupid to debug and maintain</em>. Which is precisely what I'd failed in my anecdote.</p><p>And of course, Management, in its infinite wisdom, typically puts far greater emphasis on new development than on testing, or Heavens Forefend!!! <em>maintenance</em>. So all the brightest talent (or so perceived, at any rate) goes to New Development.</p><p>(There's a great essay from about a decade ago, "In Praise of Maintenance, which you, and by "you" I mean "I", should really (re)read: <a href="http://freakonomics.com/podcast/in-praise-of-maintenance-rebroadcast/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">http://</span><span class="ellipsis">freakonomics.com/podcast/in-pr</span><span class="invisible">aise-of-maintenance-rebroadcast/</span></a>).</p><p>With AI-based code generation, presuming it works at all, we get code that's like computer-chess or computer-Go (the game, not the lang). It <em>might</em> work, but <em>there's no explanation or clarity to it</em>. Grandmasters are not only stumped but utterly dispirited <em>because they can't grok the strategy</em>. </p><p>I can't count the number of times I've heard AI referred to as search or solution without explanation, an idea I'd first twigged to in the late 2010s. That is, if <em>scientific</em> knowledge tells us about <em>causes</em> of things, AI ML GD LLM simply <em>tells us the answer</em> without being able to show its work. Or worse: even if it <em>could</em> show work, that wouldn't tell us anything meaningful.</p><p>(This ... may not be entirely accurate, I'm not working in the field. But the point's been iterated enough times from enough different people at least some of whom <em>should</em> know that I tend to believe it.)</p><p>A major cause of technical debt is loss of institutional knowledge over how code works and what parts do what. I've worked enough maintenance jobs that I've seen this in all size and manner of organisations. At another gig, I'd cut the amount of code roughly in half <em>just so I could run it in the interactive environment which made debugging more viable</em>. I never really fully understood what all of that program did (though I could fix bugs, make changes, and even anticipate some problems which later emerged). Funny thing was when one of the prior Hired Guns who'd worked on the same project before my time there turned up on my front door some years later ... big laughs from both of us...</p><p>But this AI-generated code? It's going to be hairballs on hairballs on hairballs. And at some point it's gonna break.</p><p>Which leaves us with two possible situations:</p><ul><li>We won't have an AI smart enough to deal with the mess.</li><li>Or, maybe, we will. Which as I think of the possibility whilst typing this seems potentially even more frightening.</li></ul><p>Though my bet's on the first case.</p><p><a href="https://toot.cat/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/AiProgramming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AiProgramming</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/Hairballs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hairballs</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/WarStories" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WarStories</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/Maintenance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Maintenance</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/TechnicalDebt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TechnicalDebt</span></a></p>

Karsten Schmidt<p>Reading about Google keeping their long tradition of discontinuing products/services, often after just a few years[1].

Even many of my older projects which are defunkt by now have had an active period which outlasted many Google services, and — crucially — they're are stable, still available and can still be used now (e.g. my Java library collection developed between 2005-2013 still has regular users)...</p><p>Maybe internal politics, re-orgs and layoffs in BigTech are an equal/bigger risk factor for users (aside from other differences in design philosophy and resulting coupling and tech debt, e.g. massive all-in frameworks vs. lightweight composable pick-n-mix toolkits)? 🤔</p><p>[1] <a href="https://killedbygoogle.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">killedbygoogle.com/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a><br>[2] <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bus_factor" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bus_fact</span><span class="invisible">or</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSource</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/BusFactor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BusFactor</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/Maintenance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Maintenance</span></a></p>
