Yeah, writing code has been near trivial since I started working 12 years ago. Used Intellij since 2012. The difficult part was always reading old code and figure out the boundaries where backward comparibility breaks and figure out how to execute a rollout safely.

>it’s easy for the job to get “done” and work. It’s hard to do it properly in a way that it has a lasting durability. With A.I. we can spit out these programs that work and look done. And for prototypes or throwaways and such, that’s probably wonderful! But that’s not going to fly if you’re building a house to spec for people who are going to live in it for 30 years.
Let’s be honest, that’s what most companies pay good salaries for most software developers for.
When staring at a new job or project, do you more find yourself praising the architecture and quality? Or wondering how it got to this point?

Moving fast isn’t necessarily always the wrong choice. Often it’s the right choice… for a time…
Maybe AI will disrupt the rush to market phase. Maybe that makes complete sense, tbh. But there’s a whole realm of sober engineering that still needs to be done properly.
I think it can also be deceptive the same way it can be in basically any trade: it’s easy for the job to get “done” and work. It’s hard to do it properly in a way that it has a lasting durability. With A.I. we can spit out these programs that work and look done. And for prototypes or throwaways and such, that’s probably wonderful!
