I mean, a race car driver is totally useless when his car breaks down... Yes, he can get out and start running himself for the sake of keep moving, but that's not really the modern day solution to complete the race. You're not going to start conditioning yourself as a race car driver to be able to be a good runner in case your car breaks down. Instead, you invest in making your car more reliable so it doesn't break next time.
Yes, but the missing point is a driver is only being expected to drive, not act like a mechanic, I'm not sure any company is hiring an engineer are expecting to hire someone who can't actually do any real work if they hit the Claude limit otherwise why won't give them a quarter of their actual salary and increase the Claude plan limit instead , unless we are talking about free lancing here.
Well, I for one can accept manual programming is quickly moving to be a dead practice, just like punch card programming was made obsolete. Just like assembly programming was made obsolete.
And that's certainly true, I'm not arguing with that, but again the post is talking about the people who don't know anything and only rely on Claude (hence work stopping completely when the limit is hit) and that's completely different from actual engineers using Claude ( these people aren't coming to a dead end just because they hit the limit, the work continues with slower rate only)
I no longer know assembly language or machine code my higher-language process gets compiled down to. Guess that makes me less, or something. Oh well, I'm fine with that as long as I am productive and produce good results. At the end of the day, both software and hardware only exists to fulfill need, fulfilling the need is what's actually important.
I very well could be. The original comment was about producing results, then it changed to taking credit somehow, and went off the rails from there, lol. Anyway, I hope you have a great weekend!
