Is this true? I can be good at something and be happy to not have to do it anymore I feel
- zelphirkalt 2mo agoThough not the other way around. You don't become good at something by handing it off. In that case you either are already good, or never become good.
- wcfrobert 2mo agoMy opinion is that juniors need time in the saddle to develop good engineering judgement and taste. Outsourcing critical thinking is seductive and a slippery slope. LLM lures juniors into feeling productive, and molds them into ineffectual middle managers to be readily replaced when there's a bad quarter.
- witx 2mo agoYes exactly. The mids of my previous team where submitting PRs that at first glance looked good, well documented and with a very clean and professional English. As you started pulling the threads it was, usually, a mess of subtle bugs and over abstraction. But to them it was great, as it was llm generated and they (the mid devs) had no better judgement.
