We're definitely going to get to the point where handwriting code doesn't make sense. Similar to handwriting assembly doesn't make sense. But the analogy breaks down. Developers don't really know assembly and they can't really review assembly. On top of it, the assembly that's produced by compilers is so optimized and confusing that you can't even understand it. For AI the code that's being produced, the developer needs to understand it could have written it themselves but it's just not as efficient or safe to do so. AI is not a new abstraction layer. It is a tool to create something you understand. We still need people to understand the mechanics of coding. We still need people to learn these skills and these are important skills. And even with the power of AI, you can't get away with not knowing these skills if you want to be effective. As always, there'll be people who try to take shortcuts and they'll get short-term gains and then it will fall apart.

This is the type of person you have to be to get hired at Citadel Ken Griffin once asked a Harvard graduate with a Citadel offer letter what he would do if he had $10 million in his bank account The young man replied that he would quit his job to travel and climb the highest peaks around the world Ken Griffin responded by saying that Citadel was not the right fit for him

Some people really saw this and said “let me go build agentic workflows in Palo Alto”

just saw a kid w a jane street backpack board the train to newark new jersey what sort of recession indicator is this

bulgarian mover said im the only nice person he's met in nyc and everyone else is rude which made me sad but also made me be even more nice to him (i disagree i think people here are sweet but i am not the type to hire a mover so he probably filters on a certain type of person)

For 50 years, software engineering ran on code rationing. Writing code was expensive, so we rationed it carefully through roadmaps, RFCs, prioritization meetings, and scope reviews. This created a role: the No Engineer. No, that won't scale. No, we don't have bandwidth. No, that's out of scope. No, we need a design doc first. The No Engineer was valuable for 50 years. Every "no" saved real money. Their judgment was the rationing system. LLMs will be the end of code rationing. Code is cheap now. And while the No Engineer is explaining why something can't be done, the Yes Engineer has already shipped three versions of it. If you're a Yes Engineer, the next decade is yours.
