if AI writes 80% of your code what skill is actually yours?

@codevsdev to help AI to code

@codevsdev If a brush paints 80% of your painting, what skill is actually yours?

@codevsdev I like to be the disruptive one. Slamming my little gavel every few minutes. Picking my nose. The slacker of the team essential. My favorite is getting reprimanded by my AI for not paying attention. 🤷🏼‍♂️ Idk they could take over the world but would rather yell at me. 😓

@codevsdev I’m the people person. I take the ideas from the people and prompt the machine. I make it easier. For the people to talk to the machines. IM A PEOPLE PERSON GODDAMN IT

@codevsdev everything else related to software engineering lmfao, coding is just part of the job - plus you also need to recognize good and bad code

@codevsdev If the code you write is on a computer you didn't build, running software you didn't write, using a grid you didn't build or maintain, in a room you didn't build, wearing clothes you didn't make, in a country you didn't secure, what skill is actually yours? It's all a game.

@codevsdev AI still doesn’t do anything until we tell it to.

@codevsdev I have mastery of coaxing AI to do my job and taking all the credits.

@codevsdev Making sure the code is organized in a logical fashion. Making sure that a developer can know how the code works within a minute of reading it. Making sure it's not all spaghetti and full of legacy code and dirty repos.

@codevsdev 20%. geez you can't even do simple math anymore

I never wanted to be a developer. However. AI has opened me up to the development process even further. To using IDE. To understanding different languages. To understanding different frameworks. To architecture. To ui and unit testing. To SDLC. To Secure coding. To a gitignore file. To the REST API to pip install. To Server side rendering. To logs to the difference in syntax in code. If you have a good background in IT. Cybersecurity. Networking. Networking protocols. OS systems. It opens a whole new world in IT. All under the guise of Cursor XCode and one of the languages. Swift.

@codevsdev You gotta find a new one upstream of the code. Kinda like when compilers came around

@codevsdev Paying for it.

@codevsdev You are the gatekeeper for 5x production vs your old self. This is a valuable role.

Easy. Things the AI can't do well, like imagination, planning+architecting, nonlogical choices for problem solving. You're the driver the LLM is the car. But more importantly, LLMs have unlimited 10X programmers (agents) available to me 24/7 to finish my project in a month rather than 3 years

@codevsdev If the bricklayer lays most of the brick, what skill is actually the architect’s?

@codevsdev Does it matter? Engineering is about design logic, not pumping out code.

@codevsdev My work skills have become almost entirely metacognitive. I can think about how I think I should have AI solve things.

@codevsdev If AI writes 80% of your code.... 80% of your code could contain malware.

@codevsdev Dreamer! Unconventional learner! Orchestrator! MOE human leading MOE model! Auditor!

@codevsdev If you writing all the higher level code is 100% translated into assembly code by the compiler... What skill is actually yours?

@codevsdev Creative Writing and knowing shit to tell it.

@codevsdev I have lots of skills they’re all in my .agents directory

@codevsdev Sexing your mom while AI writes my code 🫡

@codevsdev Architect and reviewer, always the brains behind the brawn

SpaceX is building the infrastructure of the future

@codevsdev The skill of pretending I wrote the other 20%

@codevsdev prompt engineer

@codevsdev Pre AI devs wrote code, dussins of people did the rest before launching. Just saying.

@codevsdev Preparation is even more important today with the correct PDRs ADDs and structural mapping. Without any of that you just get slop.
