Becoming an AI-Native Engineer

I've been struggling with the same thing. It's the same reason I didn't really want to go on the management path because it loses the authoring part. But now it seems to be forced on us.

That being said, there are lots of brussel sprouts in authoring sometimes - the boilerplate and wrote stuff we've done a billion times. You can make Claude eat those brussel sprouts which is nice.

also, very nice analogy, but don't besmirch the good brussel sprout name. I think in real life, cooked properly, I might even prefer them to ice cream.

Tangential fun fact!

Good tasting brussel sprouts are a very recent invention. They used to be a lot more bitter, but a new cultivar was engineered in the 90's that all but completely eliminated the bitter notes. Over the next 30 years, pretty much everybody has switched over, so now brussel sprouts are just drastically better than they were when they got the reputation for being gross.

Also, it's brussels sprouts. The name comes from the city of Brussels, BE.
