alt Hacker News> Mostly because now code often feels so disposable and fast
I really like this thought. We used to take pride in elegant solutions and architectural designs. Now, in the era of shipping fast and AI, this has been disregarded. Redundancy is everywhere, spaghetti is normalized. AI code has always been unsettling for me and I think this is why.
Think 1 <pick currency> shops, now that factories have fully taken over.
I see a future where those that survive are doing mostly architecture work, and a few druids are hired by AI companies.
