A group at the web dev team for my company started a Dev Club to meet on Zoom to discuss code info and showcase dev work from them and other dev teams. Being a sysadmin scripter, I wanted to join to get experience in professional dev workflow as a creeper in the shadows. Then genAI code helpers happened and the guy leading it, the senior web dev at my company, started to use Claude and other genAI tools. Now, that’s like all they talk about and showcase. Like 2 or 3 devs decided to outsource their thinking and now that’s all the convo is about. Not even about their stuff, but leading genAI developments.
I stopped attending the monthly Zoom meetings. Not sure how many in there are into genAI, but since it wasn’t my bag, I didn’t want to say anything and just declined the recurring calendar event. Maybe I’ll start my own dev club with blackjack and hookers!
