Building programs with AI, I honestly can’t tell whether this is a better world or a worse one. Especially for the kind of coding that builds custom tools for a specific job.
As I wrote on LinkedIn, even moving an Excel tool into a proper system used to need an expert. So I had no choice but to give up. Now I can build it like this.
I even change things countless times while building. If I’d worked with a person like that, wouldn’t I have been slapped by now? The one difference from back then: back then I’d hand it off and go do something else. Now I sit and watch with it, checking the results.
Anyway, what happens now to the people who used to write this kind of code?
Honestly, I get to do what I want, so I like it. I just had this thought.
