Abstractions are one thing, not putting any effort into learning is another. People worry about the latter.

- gonzalohm 3mo agoExactly. I'm not saying that you should go back to code in assembly. But, come on, you can surely dedicate 30 minutes of your time to read how a CPU works... Just have curiosity would be my advice
- fragmede 3mo agoAt the expense of what, though? That's 30 minutes not spent learning about the business, or talking to customers, or to your kids. Or watching the World Cup. Or reading Hacker News.
- coupdejarnac 3mo agoThe extra 30 minutes will be spent chatting with the AI as if it's your best friend.
- gonzalohm 3mo agoYou may have to spend 4 hours in the future when something stops working and the AI can't fix it
- nullpoint420 3mo agoi always hear this argument. and then those that proclaim it get stuck for a sprint trying to fit a square peg in a round hole and then i get a ticket a month later because the customer reported the feature isn't working. all while they proclaim how much they care about the customer. i'm not just talking about one person. i feel as if there's an archetype of programmer that thinks like this.
- fragmede 3mo agoI'm not sure what archetype my comment makes me fall under, but my point is people spend time and effort learning about the things that are important to them. The things that are important to them aren't important to you and I'm saying that being interested in how a CPU actually works doesn't make you better or smarter than them being interested in how other parts of the business work.
