My thoughts on do not feel like a programmer anymore: do not feel like a programmer anymore

Commentary

  • Igor Kulman’s blog: I do not feel like a programmer anymore
  • People are actually more brave then I thought. This is true. A very honest, open hearted blog.
  • Tuning prompts and reviewing code is not the same as solving a deeper problem and sitting on it enough to get the bulb glowing. The moments of costly dopamine (opposite of cheap dopamine?) is getting harder to get in coding. Writing prompts, seeing AI solve problems, and guessing the outcomes doesn’t give any motivating feelings that would move us forward.
  • This all cycle is so messed up in the software world. People are re-inventing how we develop software. I don’t know what is going to happen, but sooner or later, the gold old days should come back that’s my wish. Otherwise I don’t like it very much, I don’t hate it always but its a bit hard-pilled medicine to digest.
