alt Hacker NewsThank you, this is what I've been seeing. Structs and objects are easy, but the hard part is encoding the domain most accurately into given data types of the computer (or creating new data structures to solve the problem!)
If anything, I do expect the casual non-tech users to be making the most adaptable software because they have what they want in their head. Although, part of what the dev does is figuring out the weeds, and only a part of users have the patience to sit through detail corrections. And the AI user has to verbalize their wants exactly too.

Even with basic pseudocode and very lenient logical rules, most people won’t bother to provide a a good definition of some process, as it’s quite unnatural to be that logical. Instead, it’s mostly just playing around. When you ask the one that is supposedly 10x-ing his productivity to explain his mental model of their own projects, it’s often a wishlist instead of a real understanding of what he has built.

Those are the people who are most likely to give a monolithic prompt and then spend a week telling the machine 'I don't care about encryption or file permissions, just make it work.' Not to mention that most people can barely verbalize the problems they have with devices they use for 8hrs a day, let alone form a full, self consistant, project idea and then put it in writing.
