> you do it on your own terms, rather than on the terms of the employer You've setup a condition where essentially every answer is true. I know someone who spins wool and dyes it and makes socks. Does it still make sense? Only once you add in the fact she enjoys. If you're real question is what can be done better by hand in July 2026? afaik optimization problems are still getting superior results from humans. Things like if you do this algo you can loop the array once instead of 3x. If you align this struct like this it's faster on a certain arch + os. Or if we do these 2 steps in microservice A we can only touch the memory and network once instead of twice etc. a 2x speed up is still meaningful at scale. (I'd bet there are 100s of software companies out there that would pay 7 to 8 figures if you could 1/2 their AWS bill) |

The answer to that question is "everything". Humans are still noticeably better than LLMs at writing code, and just as fast once you factor in the time it takes to review and correct the LLM.
