Soft eng for 20+ years.
Happy have LLM code for me.
I won't let them speak for me though. I think people who let AI speak for them in places other humans read probably couldn't speak for themselves pre-LLM. It's sad.
- gatio 28d agoThis is very subjective. You are willing to outsource one core competency (coding), but not another (documentation and other written comms) ? I think the bigger personal challenge is to not outsource thinking, understanding and judgement as we leverage new tools, and to continue our personal learning journeys. After 20+ years as a software engineer, you can probably coast on past experience for a long time... but if you aren't learning and exercising (one way or another), your skills will stagnate. That would be sad.
