alt Hacker Newsit is very funny to me that on a story about a major outage at one of the companies pushing the "software is solved" narrative the suggestion to slow down and do things more carefully is laughable, I think we officially need to retire calling ourselves engineers.

Did they stop being mathematicians when calculators were invented? Architects when cad software came along? They produced way more while having to do a lot less. AI is a tool that empowers me to do the same job at an easy 30x speedup and this is just getting started. I've produced more in the last year than I have in the last 20. I'm more of an engineer with these tools than I ever have been.

Software developers shouldn't have ever called themselves engineers to being with.
