I’m all in on AI assisted development but this is ridiculous.
There’s so many self evident reasons to need an IDE as a developer.
Presumably the unidentified author is selling something that benefits from such a stance.
- andrewl 6mo agoYes. And then after you throw all your tools away you should buy my software.
- andrewstuart 6mo agoI’d resign on the spot if my team lead told me to delete all IDEs and that coding is solved.
- fragmede 6mo agoIf all coding is solved, what do they need you for? You'd be laid off before you could quit if that was the case.
- operatingthetan 6mo agoExactly, if coding is solved, why do they have a team? I'm sure doing all their engineering through an openclaw instance is totally a good idea, right?
- dleslie 6mo agoNah, quiet quit. Orchestrate the agents to the degree necessary to keep your job, and no more. Use the free time to read a book.
- maipen 6mo agoExactly, our gen's gold rush.
