> To bring it all together, I guess some part of me was disappointed to see a person that I considered a really good programmer, seem to indicate that they didn't care about doing the actual programming?
My take on this is that we as a society are now on the verge of transitioning towards programming as an art form. And the methodologies of art vs non art programming are vastly different.
Take clothes, for example. Manufacturing is vastly optimized for throughput, but its art form is heavily optimized for design and customization. Maybe that is what all this is about now with programming, too?
I too would think of myself as someone who likes to code for the sake of explorative understanding and optimization. I'm pretty bad at the last 10%, like _reeeally_ bad actually.
But I am aware that the methodology of programming is changing. And currently I believe that design and customization might in parts also change, because a lot of LLM- / slop-coded successful projects were optimizing for something like text-in-the-loop where they started with a terminal CLI and made it a real design later, because the LLM agent was able to parse and understand CLI / TTY characters.
Maybe this is what it's actually about. Maybe we need to optimize things for text now so that LLMs can help us more in these topics?
I'm thinking lately a lot about scene graphs and event graphs and how to make them serializable so that I can be more efficient in generating UIs. Sorry for babbling, maybe these are just thoughts I'm gonna regret in the future.
