The End of Coding? Wrong Question (www.architecture-weekly.com)

What LLMs revealed is how many people in our industry don't like to code.

It's intriguing that now they claim and showcase what they "built with Claude", whereas usually that means they generated a PoC.

It's funny, as people still focus on how they're building, so it's all about the code. And if that's the message sent outside, together with the thought that LLMs are already better than "average coder Joe", then the logical follow-up question is: why do we need those humans in the loop?

I don't have the energy to do that anymore.

Funny, LLMs actually gave me the time and energy to move forward with a lot of my personal projects. It's a lot more fun when I don't have to lose time investigating why some component doesn't work, or build oauth for the gazillionth time
