Accountability for shipped code in AI era

5 Upvotes

This is mainly a question for those of you who are employed somewhere where AI coding is enforced. Do your employers still expect you to be accountable for the code you ship? Or has that part of your job description been altered?

I would personally not be comfortable accepting a job where I'm pushed to maximize my velocity with AI, as that would mean I wouldn't be able to understand the systems I was shipping. The only reason I would think that would be acceptable, is if I did not have personal responsibility for code that breaks, security vulnerabilities, etc.

Switching from PHP Developer to Java Developer – Need Advice

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I have around 4 years of experience as a PHP developer, mainly working with Laravel. Recently, I started learning Java and Spring Boot, and I'm becoming really interested in this technology.

I want to switch my career to Java development and would love to hear from people who have made a similar transition.

How was your experience? What kind of job opportunities did you get, and how difficult was it to land your first Java developer role?

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
