Do people seriously consider this the waning days of the craft? I don’t understand that.
My view is that I am about to enter the quantum productivity period of coding.
I am incredibly excited about AI assistance on my coding tasks, because it improves not only what I’m writing, but also helps me to learn as I go. I have never had a better time writing software than I have in the last year.
I’ve been writing software for a few decades. But now I’m able to overcome places where I get stuck and have almost a coach available to help me understand the choices I’m making and make suggestions constantly. And not just wandering over to a fellow cuders desk to ask them about a problem I am facing, but actually give me some productive solutions that are actually inspirational to the outcome.
It’s amazing.
So why do people think that coding is coming to some kind of end? I don’t see any evidence that artificial intelligence coding assistants are about to replace coders, unless you… suck badly at building things, so what are people getting on about?
I feel like somebody came along and said, “foundations are now free, but you still get to build a house. But the foundations are free.”
I still have to build a house, and I get to build an entire house and architect it and design it and create it and socialize it and support it and advocate for it and explain it to people who don’t understand it but… I don’t have to build a foundation anymore so it’s easier.
Shoot me down. I’m not relating here at all.
