So, in essence, my added value is translating the vaque demands of my clients into as efficient as system as can be.

Can the AI do it? Not yet I think. Maybe someday, for now I feel like client of mine simply do not have the vocabulary to guide the LLMs. Ie they have no idea of what one-to-many is, or why it's smart to put some information in separate tables, where as some is ok to filter row-based on a user attribute, etc.

I guess my trick is that mostly I'm my own customer. I'm a late stage career expert in netcode, so I pretty much have this long list of things I've been wanting to create for 20-30 years now... I'm still working through this, and each new thing I make, it creates 2-3 new ideas to explore! It's fun times :)

Hmm, that does sound like fun. I guess, I'm truly screwed when the AI can actually serve customers directly. I guess it's coming, at some point.

Hah, I think there's quite a few of us like this. We didn't have the time to spend doing this work in the past, but now with AI we can have it build what we want by giving it our ideas and framework.

It's going to be interesting to see what kind of new innovations across various industries comes from this over the next few years as the subject matter experts gets to work on their own ideas.

Yeah I've really been wondering what causes some people to just get absolutely sucked in harder than a game of Civilization at 2AM with AI coding, and it seems to be this.

People who have a bunch of ideas they want to create!

The people who get really pissed off about AI coding seem to be all about the doing, but those who are really excited about creating things and the end result not the process come out OK
