I don’t think you’d be doing this if you were paid peanuts. I also think coding is in a transitional period, most people who claim they are “building the product” are going to lose their jobs as the models get better.
I am genuinely doing it for free in my free time on top of my work (in fact I pay for the models) so I am doing it for less than peanuts. I completely disagree w/r/t the model take, their is skill in steering work to get a product done that is what management has always been about, I do think in the long run this will be automated but I have seen 0 progress on it so far.
I disagree, there’s no future in “Steering” a model. You ask what you want, and the model delivers. Opus 5.5 is getting there already, A single line prompt creates a fully functional game engine that can be used to make many different games : https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=R_uf5OfMGio&t=3555s (Opus 5.5)
Please explain to me what great prompting / steering you will do when your customer can just prompt exactly what he wants and get a product even more tailored to his needs.
Natural language is too lossy for most usecases and people are bad at being specific enough to get what they want. For example, I am not creative enough to think of movie ideas compared to good directors so I will probably just pay to see what they cook up rather than try to make it myself.
