I wonder if how many people who write code for a living genuinely think, deep down, they’re truly awful coders because they’ve only ever coded in an environment that demands the fastest, absolute barest minimum quality. It’s so rare to get to write code exactly how one would prefer it.
LLMs don’t add an abstraction layer. You can’t competently produce software without understanding what they’re outputting.
I mean you can …but its gonna be slop.
One can get paid and advance through a career producing slop.
Good engineering is hard, and lots of that no longer happens.
And thank goodness for that! LoL.
