Coding is dead, so do my joy of this profession. If I wanted to become full time manager - I would do it earlier
Ok, guys, it's been fun 10 years. Yes, I am silly nerd who enjoyed understand problem and create HIS OWN solution
Agentic coding is like playing chess with an engine and telling it what opening to use. I guess some do enjoy it
Honestly surprised how many people feeled relief becoming managers instead of coders. I guess we - people who enjoyed coding - always were just a loud minority
And please, don't reply to me with this nonsensical bs about "ye ye I am still owner of my code and I just scaled my knowledge". I worked with ai too much and seen too much people to believe it
yes coding is dead but i like having less rounds with QA and more "nice to have" juice in my projects .
i feel that what i miss the most is not the coding it self but the effort i used to put in to it. no effort no dopamine no happy.
since i got into the coding because it's a tool to solve problems, and now i have a better tool to solve the same problems, this is what im working on reclaiming, the effort part.
As i said, most of the devs never enjoyed coding. But even on their place I wouldn't be happy. Now way less qualified people can do their work.
I love(d) coding. I also love leveraging LLMs to create so many projects that I otherwise would not have done.
Idk. I don't feel that "projects" have any value nowadays. Firstly, you don't get any respect, people just thinking "I could prompt that too". Secondly, if anyone can do that, what's the point?
We have so much stuff coming nowdays that no one care
There is a huge gap between creating a tool and creating a product.
The gap may disappear but it’s largely still present.
