The day that software engineering fully transitions from thinking about and writing my own code into trying to read and understanding LLM extruded code is the day I'll quit being a software engineer. Still keeping my fingers crossed that day never comes.
But, admitting my own biases, I believe this approach is a productive way to engage with LLMs that retains the art of computer programming and properly acknowledges a dual reality: code has gotten much cheaper to create and complexity remains our apex predator.
