Truth is, LLMs are going to make the coding part super easy, and the ceiling for shit coders like me has just gotten a lot lower because I can just ask it to deliver clean code to me.
I feel like the software developer version of an investment banking Managing Director asking my analyst to build me a pitch deck an hour before the meeting.
- dhdisjsbshsus 2y agoYou mentioned in another comment you’ve used AI to write clean code, but here you mention you’re a “shit coder”. How do you know it’s giving you clean code?
- fakedang 2y agoI know the fundamentals but I'm a noob when it comes to coding with React or NextJS. Code that comes out from Claude is often segregated and modularized properly so that even I can follow the logic of the code, even if not the language and its syntax. If there's an issue with the code, causing it to fail at runtime, I am still able to debug it appropriately with my minimal language of JS. If any codebase can let me do that, then in my books that's a great codebase. Compare that to Gpt 4o which gives me a massive chunk of unsorted gibberish that I have to pore through and organize myself. Besides, most IBD MDs don't know if they're getting correct numbers either :).
- bamboozled 2y agoHas the coding part ever been hard? When is the last time you faced a hard coding challenege? What is hard is gather requirements, dealing with unexpected production issues, scaling, security, fixing obscure bugs and integration with other systems. The coding part is about 10% of my job and the easiest part by far.
