- maccard 2y agoI disagree. If I put hook a library into a framework (e.g. laminar into rails) that doesn’t make me an organizer
- croes 2y agoBut this does > You will organize the codebase in a way AI can handle it, make architectural decisions and organize the workflow around AI doing the actual coding.
- maccard 2y ago“Anyone” can implement a class that does something - the mark of a good engineer is someone who understands the context it’s going to be used in and modified , be that a one shot method, a core library function or a user facing api call that needs to be resilient against malicious inputs.
- fifilura 2y agoMany people identify themselves with being "a coder". Surely there are jobs for "coders" and will be in the future too. But not everyone writing programs today would qualify to doing the work defined as what "a coder" does. I like to be a "builder of systems" , "solver of problems". "Organizer or manager" would also fit in that description. And then what tool you use to get stuff done is not relevant.
- Art9681 2y agoNo one cares what badge of pride you choose to wear. Only the output. If an LLM produces working solutions, that's what your audience will appreciate. Not a self imposed title you chose for the project.
- wruza 2y agoWhat if it doesn’t? The next generation of “developers” will be even more clueless and we’ll get old and grumble that sites now take 200 megabytes to load, and they will laugh, cause who cares with 7G and terabit internet speeds and neighborhood-local cloudflare content pushing networks. And who even visits sites nowadays lol, when all the content is already prepushed to you.
- ranger_danger 2y agoCan we turn down the dogmatism? This is merely your opinion and clearly others disagree with you. The majority of your comment history seems to be overwhelmingly negative.
