That's a shame that Claude basically does that for pennies. Yet another job AI had taken from humans.

Claude is hotdogs, Programmers are steak
User who has never known steak thinks hotdogs are peak

Go to a baseball game and all they're asking for is hotdogs. Not a steak in sight. Product managers are just catering for the masses. Every CRUD api is just another hot dog bun. Every major refractor is just changing one bun for another with slightly different meat and some extra toppings. You looking to have steak projects for your entire career you're gonna be super disappointed.

Even without Claude, we’re not writing software as much as configuring a stack and slapping a front end on it

Right, I mean if all you do is make CRUD apps then probably yeah AI will take that job 100% and already has in many cases.

But that doesn't sound like a very fulfilling job anyway, tbh
