"The new programming language is just in your native tongue."
False. Engineering was about implementation, not about result. "How to get there"?
Now "thinking" is to check that model actually understood what you want. We are much closer to product manager who's testing new product with his hands and giving feedback to engineers, rather than to engineers who's thinking "how we implement that"?
"but AI has opened up an entirely new world" - i hear this all the time exactly from "not a full time dev's". This is FOR SURE opened whole new world to people who didn't code and collapsed whole old world for people who loved to code.
Maybe it is just me, but creating simple CRUD application pre-llm required more cognitive ability from me than to "implement" whole CRM system with UI and multiple integrations right now. It is not hard, just tiring in a boring sense, like finding needle in a haystack
- nharziro 27d agoWhen I read stuff like this people I feel like people haven't yet accepted reality. I think knowing how to write code made a lot of people feel very special. Like the could do something magical, and now feel like that's being taken a way from them. I've been writing code since I was a child and spent my entire career as a software engineer, so I understand where these people are coming from, but the reality is AI has changed this profession and this skill set forever. People need to deal with this and move. You can still do very special things with AI that a "normal" person cannot do, so focus your energy there.
- bah9 27d agoWhat is your point? That coding was easy and nothing special? It wasn't. That programming changed forever? No one arguing. That all of us should enjoy new world order? Nah, this work isn't fun for me anymore. I will do something else for the living
- nharziro 27d agoI never said it was easy but it's clear that you're not coping well with new world order. Unfortunately for a lot people, it's here to stay do get used to it.
