have been a software engineer for the past 8 years and worked on so many projects; some of them serve millions of users so i think i have a bit of experience.
I'm still working and getting paid, but i do have that feeling like now anyone can do what I can.
Sure, if we are talking about how to write code make it clean and modular, and so on. I still need to do those things, but why do I have them!? even if I didn't, the llms can still generate and make edits so much faster that it feels irrelevant to write code in that way. Sometimes I feel like i am wasting time doing that stuff.
nowdays llms like claude rarely do any mistake at all and even if there was a bug it can even find it faster than me
I'm still steering the AI, making it help me rather than replace me but i do have this feeling like it's over for me.
