Those will never go away, but they’re still not the best moats. There isn’t much defensibility in them.

Right now, I’ll be very honest: it feels like a race to the bottom, except for the hardcore engineers working on genuinely difficult problems. Only a small number of people will get the chance to work at that level as the field changes. I t

I can see infra teams directly integrating agents into DevOps now. If something goes down, by the time the team looks at it, the PR with the fix can already be ready. That whole loop is getting automated too.

Prove me wrong. I’d be happy if you do. The only engineers I’ve seen who are extremely good tend to have 15 to 20 years of experience. The difference they bring is not really in the code. It’s in how aggressively they cut unnecessary comple

Tell me about this critical system you're talking about. I want to know.

Prompt engineering is more than enough to build this. Not a hard problem

Hard disagree on the “useless professional” part. I can still write code without ChatGPT or Codex. That’s not even an issue. Becoming proficient used to take years if you did it the right way; with AI, you can get into pretty good shape muc

I feel that for a senior engineer, it’s already there. If you have enough scars, you’ll figure it out, get it done, and fix whatever breaks.

Yes. Before LLMs, I saw a lot of value in it. Building things was how I learned, found gaps in what I knew, and proved to myself that I could take something from an idea to a working system. I worked day and night for long periods to improv

Tell me at least one interesting problem that you have encountered. That is related to coding and software engineering

On point 1, it depends, and I think it is a UX issue. There might be a little bit of friction in nailing things down, but the coding part is 100% solved. On point 2, yes, again, there is a bit of friction. I would divide this into two cases

It is dude, I am not joking here.

Yeah, even three months is already too late. Back at 4.8, it was already a solved problem.

If you can do system design well, prompt effectively, and ask the right questions, I don’t see much point in going extremely deep into all of this anymore. I’ve learned a lot of new things, but now it often feels like I can just prompt the

A company can have money but can lose taste. look at IBM and microsoft

See, Google has just entered its IBM era.

Just take a tough project, an ambitious one. Then do system design first. Use AI and you, and figure out failure modes, all that where it can fail. Then start building piece by piece and start reading that code and publish thats it

BMWs are never reliable, but what I like is the drivability.
