It’s just “coding” now apparently. Time to coin the term “trad coding” or “trad engineering”

- kittikitti 1y agoTradition is circular, it's only done based on tradition. I would prefer to call it classical coding because it's still useful in modern frameworks and a wonderful base skill set that can enhance current practice. Take for example, Bogo sort, a "trad" algorithm. No one uses it and the only reason people would use it is to continue some kind of tradition. Merge sort is one of the classics. Asking an LLM to sort a list might be a modern approach, but sometimes the classics are there for a reason.
