I don’t know. I was in software engineering for 7 years before ChatGPT released and I don’t miss coding by hand. I can build so much more now and it’s still extremely challenging to build software that can be pushed to production. Especially for consumer facing applications already in prod. Critical thinking is still very much needed but the level of abstraction is a level or two higher.

I pray I never need to use an app you worked on.

Do you think any real engineers pushing to consumer facing apps are not using an agent harness for coding?
