- Vibe coding and agentic engineering are getting closer more than I had like
- This is true. The agents are producing so much code that a human cannot even keep up to. But that shouldn’t be a excuse to not learn what the changes have been made. At this point its about slowing down and letting ourselves savor what LLMs in the past 3 years have made us.
- The other part is very interesting of not getting concerned about being replaced as a developer. The analogy of plumber hits right.
- If one can quickly plumb his house things, why even hire a plumber. But we know that we don’t like doing that so we hire him eventually. But can this be true for software too, it has been the most sort of thing that bugs people. Coding is not trivial, yes writing code has become due to AI, but code was not the bottleneck. The patience level of a developer, the ability to reason through, to find the gaps, to have a taste, to understand human sentiment, it is what truly makes a true software developer if not less. And that AI would never be able to do (atleast for the next year maybe)
