- aspenmartin 10mo agoIt would definitely be the profession if we stopped developing things today. Think about the idea of coding agents 2 years ago, I personally found them very unrealistic and am now coding exclusively with them despite them being either a neutral or net negative to my development time simply because I see the writing on the wall that in 6 mos to a year they will probably be a huge net positive and in 2-3 years the dismissive attitude towards adoption will start to look kind of silly (no offense). To me we are _just_ at the inflection point where using and not using coding agents are both totally sensible decisions.
- ryanobjc 10mo agoIf I wanted to do that, I'd just move into engineering management and work with something less temperamental and predictable - humans. I'd at least be more likely to get a boost in impact and ability to affect decision making, maybe.
- lifetimerubyist 10mo agoUntil you realize you're just begging and coaxing a human to better beg and coax a machine to output working code - when you could just beg and coax the machine yourself.
- llmslave2 10mo agoAt least I'd be the one interfacing with a human instead of a machine :P
