That's a great analogy. For me it is a very similar feeling that I get ripped out of "problem solving mode" into "code review mode" which is often a lot more taxing for me.
It also doesn't help reviewing such code that sometimes surprisingly complex problems are solved correctly, while there's surprisingly easy parts that can be subtly (or very) wrong.
- ryandrake 2y agoYes great analogy! A hard pill to swallow is that a lot of software developers have spent most of their careers "behind the code" instead of out ahead of it. They're stuck for years in an endless "Junior Engineer" cycle of: try, compile, run, fix, try, compile, run, fix--over and over with no real understanding, no deliberate and intentional coding, no intimacy, no vision of what's going on in the silicon. AI coding is just going to keep us locked into this inferior cycle. All it seems to help with is letting us produce A Lot Of Code very quickly. But producing code is 10% of building a wonderful software product....
