I can't think about a more just punishment than what God is giving to programmers right now with AI generated code.
It was you who for decades did everything in your might to make programming as difficult as possible for normal people, inventing the most petty rules and complications in every place imaginable in order to protect your guild from intruders.
Being able to program does not require intelligence, it requires being able to memorize an immense number of random gotchas and grammar rules which makes code not work if you forget to honour them.
Things such as:
- If you add 2+2 your answer will be 22 unless you do it in the "right" way.
- Your code not compiling if you have "mixed tabs and spaces", and of course all text editors also hide tabs and spaces.
- Your code failing if you have forgotten a ; or a " or a ) or a } etc etc
- Having to set up a complicated development environment instead of being able to program straight away on the machine.
So at least I'm laughing while I'm praising God for punishing programmers with AI code. It helps normal people to work through your Byzantine and evil rules and empowers them to make functional programs, while you are left to tear your hair and grind your teeth when reviewing our AI-generated code.
You realize that what you write makes zero sense. Those rules will all be there regardless if you generate your code by hand or with AI. So you should ask your god to give you higher cognitive skills instead

Now you know how we felt all these years!
