- dmoy 10mo agoYea I think Calhoun also read the article before posting, and agrees with you; they meant the full title should be > "The Death of Software Engineering as a Profession" ... is greatly exaggerated. As in "is greatly exaggerated" is part of the title They did not mean the title should be > The Death of Software Engineering as a Profession and that they think the thesis is greatly exaggerated.
- alwa 10mo agoFor today’s lucky 10,000– @JKCalhoun is most likely making reference here to American humorist Mark Twain, who, in response to news stories claiming he had died, was reported to have quipped “reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.” [0] https://quoteinvestigator.com/2024/06/07/report-death/ https://quoteinvestigator.com/2024/06/07/report-death/
- jama211 10mo agoSoftware engineering isn’t dead and won’t be dead from LLMs, I have no fear of that, but coding by hand may become as usually unnecessary as coding in assembly is now. And I think that’s ok.
- dingnuts 10mo agoBesides what Sam Altman wants everyone to believe, there isn't a lot of evidence what you're saying is true. My experience with LLMs hasn't borne it out, and I also don't think it's okay -- I LIKE writing software!
