I'm curious how many ICs are truly excited about these advancements in coding agents. It seems to me the general trend is we become more like PMs managing agents and reviewing PRs, all for the sake of productivity gains.

I imagine many engineers are like myself in that they got into programming because they liked tinkering and hacking and implementation details, all of which are likely to be abstracted over in this new era of prompting.

I do feel that way, so I'll still do bespoke creation when I want to. But this is like a sewing machine. My job is to design fashion, and a whole line of it. I can do that when a machine is making the stitches instead of my using a needle in hand.
