I read “Code was never the hard part” as “Writing the Code down is easier than the stuff you do before it (like Architecture, Design Patterns, Requirements) and after it (Testing, Troubleshooting, Refactoring, etc)”.
For me the part before it is the only easy one lol. For the rest, I don’t even know how to program anything more than a basic Hello World in Python.
How could you possibly do things like architectude and design patterns without being able to code…?
Whoever you are, don’t outsource your understanding, judgement, empathy and taste to AI. Don’t abdicate your responsibility. Don’t be a meat proxy.
By expanding the ability to program to people without the knowledge of how that code works in the first place, it’s naive to expect that most uses of AI in programming will be informed uses by senior developers able to recognize errors and security flaws.
Such a pro-AI position also ignores the enormous amount of theft that these tools are built on.
