It wasn't the hard or valuable part of software engineering, but it was a very time-consuming part. That's what's interesting about this new era - the time-consuming-but-easy bit has suddenly stopped being time-consuming.
- rhubarbtree 9mo agoAgreed, often see cope from managers along the line of “writing the code was never the bottleneck”. Well, sure felt like it.

- rhubarbtree 8mo agoAha, and AI beats you at both.
- habinero 9mo agoIt's not time consuming. It seemed slow because of all the other important parts of the job. People vastly overestimate how much time SWEs actually spend writing code lol
