As a writer, this resonates.

There's a massive difference in good human "writin" and a dozen paragraphs of "it's not x, it's a y".

But unfortunately everyone "reads" English. So, at least devs have mysterious computer languages that have strings of numbers that most of us look at and immediately get a migrain from attempting to comprehend what it means.

keep up the good work and the craft of building things one keystroke at a time.

The comparison is not valid. When writing let's say a novel, you cant just tell some random dude "write chapter 4" - you cant outsource it to a human so it only makes neither can you outsource it to ai.

Software engineering is not that. You absolutely can and often will hand ofoff work to humans. Its not inherently that creative in the actual coding part.
