| We all owe every part of everything to those who’ve come before us. That goes without saying, really. > Secondly, you are very blind if you don’t see that the AI making your job “easier” is close to replacing you entirely, if you don’t also have a deep understanding of the code produced. Brother don’t patronize me. I’m a senior engineer I’m not yeeting vibe code I don’t understand into prod. I also understand the possibility of all of this potentially devaluing my labor or even wholesale taking my job. What would you like me to do about that? Is me refusing to use the tools going to change that possibility? Have yet to hear what else we should be doing about this. The hackernews answer appears to be some combination of petulance + burying head in the sand. |
It’s more of a funeral, collective expression of grievance of a great, painful loss. An obituary for a glorious, short time in history where it was possible to combine a specific kind of intelligence, creativity, discipline, passion and values and be well compensated for it. A time when the ability to solve problems and solve them well had value. Not just being better at taking credit than other people.
It was wonderful.
I know you don’t care. So just go to some other forum where you don’t have to endure the whining of us who have lost something that was important to us.
