I really don’t think training an agent on “your style” is the future. We’re more adaptable than the agents.
I think programming is a job people don’t need to do anymore and anyone who called themselves a software engineer is now a manager of agents. Jira is the interface. Define the requirements.
Writing your own code will still be a thing. We’ll even call those people hackers. But it will be a hobby.
- bluefirebrand 1y agoUnfortunately, management seems to be agreeing with you I hope engineers have the sense to really set high prices when we're asked to fix the broken code that your "managers of agents" don't know how to fix
- mulmen 1y agoThe open question is who is better at defining requirements for AI agents. Managers or engineers?
- bluefirebrand 1y agoUltimately it won't matter, because Managers will be the ones choosing who gets to stick around and they're of course going to choose themselves
- mulmen 1y agoYes. Exactly. So who is good at that job?
- AdieuToLogic 1y ago> I think programming is a job people don’t need to do anymore and anyone who called themselves a software engineer is now a manager of agents. Jira is the interface. Define the requirements. That Grand Canyon sized logical leap quoted ignores a vital concept: understanding. To "define the requirements" sufficient enough for any given feature/defect/etc. requires a degree of formality not present in prose. This already exists and is in use presently: Programming languages.
