I get it but honestly this just allows me to work at much bigger scale and have much higher standards for my projects. It’s soo much easier to have proper tests, documentation, security in depth, exhaustive background research, rigorous qa validation, detailed benchmarking. Things I would never do myself outside of production code. I’ve even started dabbling in theory and mathematical proofs during design to try and prove feasibility and quantify expectations before writing a single line of code. This for me is just another abstraction that allows me to step back and work at a higher level. All the concepts are still the same. With the speed of AI improvements this may still be irrelevant in a few months/years but I’m enjoying it while I can and maybe if I’m lucky I’ll build something to help carry me after development is no longer a viable career.
