This is depressing. I've been out of the field since Covid (after decade_s of work) and basically have to get back to work since kitty is gone, but this is definitely what I signed up for when I started on this career in software engineering.
If I'm gonna be reviewing all day, I'd rather manage humans rather than LLMs. How is it affecting managing engineering teams?
- rgoulter 5mo ago> If I'm gonna be reviewing all day... I think the point is: Pre-LLM: 1. think, 2. write code & check, 3. review. LLM: 1. think, 2. write prompt, <LLM writes code quickly>, 3. review. If the thing that you enjoy about programming is writing code, you can have the LLM write code in the style you like. If you enjoyed getting to explore and understand a system, an LLM can help you do that quicker, too. "Use LLM without thinking" won't get you substantially useful results.
