    We are all in on AI at work finally. I want to keep my job so I guess I have to stop being a Luddite.

    I am mortgaging my career though. Letting AI do the work saps my problem solving skills and I lose what I have spent my whole career building.

    “You must be able to read code faster than you write it, spotting hallucinations, security vulnerabilities, and logic errors instantly.”

    I’ve seldomly come across a more delusional statement…

    “Prompt engineer” is a legitimate profession to people who think “how fast you can type Python” is what determines the skill level of an actual programmer.

      When people type 70wpm andit it requires thier full attention, it seems intuitive that this is a bottleneck. I just don’t believe that’s the typical state of affairs for most devs. Most management, sure.

      I’m not saying there aren’t some code that get written that is braindead simple and have a lot of keystrokes (builders come to mind) but modern IDEs will generate them for you. We already had a plethora of deterministic code generation tools at our fingertips.
