AI Doesn't Reduce Work–It Intensifies It

Yeah if you want to keep your edge you have to find other ways to work your programming brain.

But as far as output - we all have different reasons for enjoying software development but for me it's more making something useful and less in the coding itself. AI makes the fun parts more fun and the less fun parts almost invisible (at small scale).

We'll all have to wrestle with this going forward.

If you use an LLM you've given up your edge.

If you use a compiler you've given up your edge.
