@steipete Great article! I applaud it! Being 57 years old, I definitely belong to this target group. And for a year now, I've been desperately trying to find a permanent job in my “old stomping grounds.” But the signs of the times are different. I've been working with these tools for months. And despite realizing that they are probably one of the reasons why it's so difficult to find a job as a “senior iOS/macOS developer” at my age, I celebrate these tools! Every day, I sit in front of my Mac and marvel at HOW MUCH code they produce IN SUCH A SHORT TIME! And they don't just produce code, the code is, apart from a few slip-ups here and there, really good overall! I don't see them as a plague that we can't get rid of. For me, they have long since become highly efficient tools! And I'm excited to see where we'll be with them in six months. @xjki @mergesort @dimillian @krzyzanowskim

@steipete @xjki @mergesort @dimillian the are parts of this essay I don't agree with, especially I don't see any of that going away anytime soon. especially debugging and/or designing part that any assisted agent just makes arbitrary decisions that are randomly good or bad

@steipete @xjki @mergesort @dimillian @krzyzanowskim there are not that many armies that need to be built and it’s difficult for any one person to afford their own health insurance, is why it is difficult to be excited and celebrate
