About AI
DISCLAIMER: This is an opinion article. I'm by no means an AI specialist, and I'll not pretend to be one here (like those people on LinkeDisney that have infected your timeline trying to appear relevant). The opinions here are solely mine. Not from my peers or companies I work with.
Introduction
The year of 2026 has been a hell of a ride so far in the software world, and we even haven't reached half of it. All because of these two vowels that have (at least for now) changed our relation with software development and engineering.
The solely purpose of this article is to take out of my mind all the thoughts I've having in the past few months in this journey while everyone is trying to learn how to use all of these tools, the best ways to use them, how to avoid all the hype, and mainly how to read the underlines of those that may have conflict of interests and are promoting it. In short, I'm just trying to be sane.
Initial reaction
You could say I'm in the "anti-AI" group. That group that says "Oh, AI only generates slop" or "I'm better than it at doing my job." or "I take so long using it that is easier doing it myself." I have said all of these sentences before.
At the same time, I know that one of the things that can keep a professional relevant in its career and in the market is not fighting against revolutions in the field.
At first I didn't care much about all the hype
