it seems that the big leap has already ended. Now its more cutting costs and improving speed. But maybe it is better this way...

A few years ago i was working at a big corporation. Most of the guys used command line for git. Back then i was not familiar with the idea of git as i used to TFS. Then i learned about a UI tool (it has an octapus for logo) and never looked back. I could not understand why people chose to still use command line when there where other, newer, options. It seems to me now again that there are people resisting change. Resistance is futile. Yes by vibe coding you wil not get any better. But managers dont care about that. Businesses dont care about that. If you want to get better do it in your owntime, or leave the corporate job. It seems we always try to seek for endings. Coding is solved, all jobs will be run by robots etc etc. But life has no endindings, only new beginnings.

Programming is all about creation. If i am in project doing mundane things it kills me. LLMs enabled me to explore fascinating new things that would otherwise have spending too much time on setting up, reading tutorials etc etc. That said, i believe that the need for programmers will decrese but will not go away. Managers need people to manage ;-)

I would definetly swap Slack for Discord. In a company i was working for we had discord and it was super fun with all that easy to embed memes. How much we got doen, is another story though

In terms of the view that you should have as an engineer about the product i would say Steve Jobs. As for the view in life i would say Plato, Diogenes of Sinope, Nietzsche
