Professional software engineering is not an art. It is a commercial and engineering endeavour. Attitude of treating it as art has always been present and created tension between people wanting to go for originality, purity and those who wanted first of all have business impact or engineering quality. At work: dev work should not be art and not aspire to it, AI does great at work because of it. As a hobby it can be whatever you need it to be, but don’t try to convince me I can’t enjoy my hobby of building useful things with AI, you do you.
