> Once you come to terms with the idea that translating an exact specification into decent code isn't a unique skill any more, you can start looking at the larger set of problems that you face as a software engineer and realize that there is so much left, and your existing skill and experience mean you can master these new tools, provide value, and execute at a level far greater than anyone who is just getting started building software using agents without any of your depth. People keep saying this, but I'm really not seeing it to be true. At least not in any employable capacity. All anyone seems to want now is an AI babysitter that can poke and prod it to puke out as much code as possible. There is no desire left for human competency, ingenuity, or creativity in this space. You could claim the same about art, but you see time and again and again that businesses, big and small, would rather shit out AI art for any of their art needs rather than hire an artist. And that's way more visible and obvious. I'm honestly starting to think these AI glazing "everything is actually totally fine, guys" comments are an astroturfing campaign.
