@codevsdev If a brush paints 80% of your painting,
what skill is actually yours?
English
The skill is building to your own code.
Natural language and spoken word is your code all the same.
We simply have a tool now that allows a user to translate their words into a language that was previously unknown to them.
No different than translating English to Spanish.
Not anymore - at least.
English
@codevsdev The mistake we all are making is thinking coding was actually the skill, you are called software developer or software engineer for some reasons not just because of coding. The fact you could think system design and principles that is the software, not writing code.
English
@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. 😓
English
@codevsdev Clearly defining a requirement, project management, testing, orchestration. I'm sure are many more. The developer of the future will be more of a manager of machine who is able to talk to them clearly.
English
The “Skill” in the future will be the person who can be a PM/Dev/Architect/BA that can describe to AI exactly what to do to A) Get the code output as accurate to the problem as possible, and B) Do it with the minimum number of cycles (Directives, Questions or Re-Dos).
Cycles=$$$
English
@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

English
@codevsdev Managing a high degree of complexity traditionally not manageable by a single person. Context management. Building tools, prompt engineering, critical thinking, thinking outside the box
English
@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
English
@codevsdev These detailed, concise prompts aren't gonna write themselves! Or will they..
English
@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.
English
@codevsdev I have mastery of coaxing AI to do my job and taking all the credits.
English
@codevsdev the remaining 20%, think, make plans, get creative, and actually learn how to prompt to AI so you still can afford a meal at the end of the day
English
@codevsdev Telling Ai what to do, and making sure it does it and does it well. For now anyhow
English
@codevsdev AI still doesn’t do anything until we tell it to.
English
@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.
English
@codevsdev To explain what it did without having read the code..
And take the blame if it did poorly
English
@codevsdev AI can generate the code.
It can’t generate the vision.
The skill is adapting fast enough to turn that vision into reality.
English
@codevsdev Conceptualization and seeing demand, if you're the one seeing a product that will be bought. If not, nothing.
English
@codevsdev 20%. geez you can't even do simple math anymore
English
@codevsdev You gotta find a new one upstream of the code. Kinda like when compilers came around
English
@codevsdev Making products?? Taking business decision?? Identifying user needs?? Making sure AI writes the correct code?? Testing?? Business edge case??
English
@codevsdev You are the gatekeeper for 5x production vs your old self. This is a valuable role.
English
@codevsdev I am making decisions and asking questions. Agents will produce a lot of technically valid junk, you need to make sure this junk is look like the app you want.
English
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
English
@codevsdev my skill is fixing the 20% where AI confidently speedruns production outage :::
English
@codevsdev If the bricklayer lays most of the brick, what skill is actually the architect’s?
English
@codevsdev The other 20% which takes 80% of the effort.
Also, properly saying what you want the generated code to actually do. And debugging/ maintaining it afterward.
