The “work” is not creating for and while loops. The work for me is: 1. Looking at the contract and talking to sales about any nuances from the client 2. Talking to the client (use stakeholder if you are working for a product company) about their business requirements and their constraints 3. Designing the architecture. 4. Presenting the architecture and design and iterating 5. Doing the implementation and iterating. This was the job of myself and a team depending on the size of the project. I can do a lot more by myself now in 40 hours a week with an LLM. 6. Reviewing the implementation 7. User acceptance testing 8. Documentation and handover. I’ve done some form of this from the day I started working 25 years ago. I was fortunate to never be a “junior developer”. I came into my first job with 10 years of hobbyist experience and implementing a multi user data entry system. I always considered coding as a necessary evil to see my vision come to fruition.
