Man, I have the same feeling. A long time in your life you build the career and now it’s just feeling so empty, like you are not a engineer anymore, now everyone can use AI and without checking code they would have good results.

?!!?

No way. Are you sure? What kind of work? Here there’s still a lot of care needed to navigate the LLM work, like knowing when to make it quit, rewrite, refactor, follow your outline.

It feels magic but when I watch people who don’t know what they are doing trying to make something new (not almost a clone of an existing product), they get pretty frustrated.
