> Either be a programmer and code, or be a delegator and delegate
Even if you just enjoy programming for the sake of programming, you can use it to review your code and then hand verify its findings, or prototype and explore feasibility of something you will in the end fully code yourself. For most people that enjoy programming there are still tasks they don't enjoy, like making a bunch of cross-language bindings for something that doesn't have an automatic way to generate them.
- bah9 2mo agoNope. You can't. Expectations and deadlines aligned with code agent usage. No one let you spent x5 time coding things yourself
- Anamon 2mo agoThat's a problem of visibility, though. No one in management currently cares much that the delegator is actually the one 5 times less efficient in the long run (or just the one leaving the rest of the team with years of technical debt). The exact same thing was the case with the outsourcing hype. Of course, nobody learned their lesson because those managers who messed everything up were long gone by the time the bills came due and everything broke down.
