i agree it’s kind of depressing now. it used to be like an art, i was good at making amazing app ui with nice animations and all. debugging was also fun especially when you finally fix a bug late at night and everything works and now you can sleep in peace. now anyone can do almost what i can do except 100x faster. it went from being kind an art to being “how fast can we push out this feature”. it makes sense from a productivity standpoint for sure, but not from a personal/hobby view

Very interesting full circle though. 20 years ago you hired a web person to manage your website, now you have a UX specialist, a front end developer, a back end developer, a conversion rate specialist, and the list goes on, AI is turning people back into generalist roles, by itself specializing in all those roles.

Writing code by hand is gonna be like making art. .01% can do it and get paid. For the rest its a hobby

AI helps you build literally anything you want in any language and helps investigate bugs. Manually debugging with nothing but reddit and SO was hell on earth

People shit on techbros rightfully so, but coding w AI is just another layer of abstraction. People probably bitched about Java being too easy

You not a real one it was slow it was hell on earth but it was fucking fun. Headache level problem solving actually does some shit for your brain that asking a chatbot to find it doesn’t. This next generation of coders r gonna be even bigger dunces

That is one of the most positive perspectives I’ve heard in a long time. Thanks!
