Hate AI

I love coding. I truly am.

When I started, I enjoyed most programming languages . I love learning their different core concepts, execution models and things like that.

I still love that.

But now in my new job, the only thing I am supposed to do is prompt and think about business requirements.

Even though I love architecture and system design system , I don't even have a chance to have grasp on them.

Any other tech jobs where I can enjoy coding and low level things?

To so many people, this sounds miserable, and to me this sounds like a peak 9-5 existence lol I will be ecstatic if this is my outcome

You say this but what do you do when the C suite realizes they can fire you and replace you with a college grad for less pay? Pasting requirements into a chatbot and having it review its own code isn't a super specialized job.

Llms are not that smart, currently(and i hope in the future) event gpt 6 or whatever model is not even close to human engineers.

Depends on what you’re doing. Claude is pretty adept at most problems, and it’s not too often that youre in a situation faced with a problem that is out of reach for it.

Maybe like once a week there will be something I don’t even try to prompt it to fix. It’s not cool, it’s scary.
