alt Hacker NewsThis. This is the real phenomenon of the AI-assisted development decade.
People who became programmers because they are naturally motivated by the craft, are now "unproductive" unless they dispense with their beloved crafting activities forever. What are they going to do? Voluntary buyouts for starters.
But then who will be left? What kind of software will they provide?
Not my experience tbh.
Those that love writing code are still doing it just way more intense than ever (like the person in the article)
Those that use code as a means to an end, solve that issue and then take the rest of the day off
Might just be me though
