Tag: Experience

A few days ago I read an article by Dominiek about the 5 principles for using AI professionally and found myself constantly nodding. After years of watching technologies arrive and evolve, AI gives me the same feelings I had with other “revolutions”: enthusiasm mixed with a necessary dose of skepticism.

Dominiek’s article especially resonated with me because it perfectly describes what we’re experiencing: a world where AI is getting into everything, but not always in the most useful or sensible way.

I wouldn’t know where to start but I do know how to end this reflection, and it’s so simple that it would be summarized in two phrases, “It’s not a country for programmers” and “Being mediocre is more relaxing and will bring you more”.

When one has been developing for more than 20 years and has always filled their mouth saying that they have enjoyed, enjoy and will enjoy programming, in the strangest or most common languages, with the most peculiar and strange technologies, the most cutting-edge and the most “old-fashioned”, but each one in its moment and only for the most (as much as possible) precise implementation, one should better keep quiet.
