Writing code is easier than ever. Being a software engineer is harder than ever. The paradox nobody talks about, and what engineers and leaders should do.
I feel like that’s exactly the point of the title - you can generate a ton of code, but if you care at all about the quality or the overall architecture, it’s made your job harder. It makes the easy stuff easier, and the harder stuff harder, exactly the reason I hate ORMs typically.
Incidentally, I say the title rather than the article, because I’m not going to waste my precious remaining life knowingly consuming AI output. That’s a hella long article that was probably generated off a few bullet points, and if the “author” can’t be bothered to actually write it, then I’ve got better things to do than read it.
It’s ironic to me because I’ve gotten so angry in the past at people who shallowly reacted and commented based solely on a title without reading the article, but these articles are usually so bland and devoid of meaningful insights that you can glean most of the idea from just the title or headline.
