"This feels like the end of prompt engineering and the beginning of collaborative cognition"
Wait I thought I was going to be left behind if I didn't master prompt engineering?
- EGreg 1y agoThat’s so 2024. Get with the program. It’s not prompt engineering — it’s magic!
- everdrive 1y agoThese days you're left behind every three years. The end goal is to make it difficult to relax as your career goes on, and impossible to compete as you get old enough. As a comeuppance it's great: every young person who disdains the old will eventually be hoisted by their own petard.
- andersmurphy 1y agoYeah, I've mostly adopted hobbit software [1]. I got tired of the endless churn for the churn gods. It does push you more towards building your own products and/or shipping end to end apps to customers (where they are more interested in the what than the how). If anything in that context you care even more about stability and maintenance. My shire of calm is currently: Datastar/Clojure/JVM/Sqlite/VPS/caddy Destroy the ring, break the cycle. It's great to just focus on building stuff and solving actual problems (PHP devs have known this for a long time). - [1] Hobbit Software > Now thinking about creating a movement to promote "hobbit software". Pretty chill, keeps to itself, tends to its databases, hangs out with other hobbit software at the pub, broadly unbothered by the scheming of the wizards and the orcs, oblivious to the rise and fall of software empires around them. > Oh, the Electron empire is going to war with the Reacts? Sounds ghastly, sorry to hear that. Me and the lads are off to the pub to run some cronjobs, wanna come along? - Dave Andersoon
