Wow you just completely destroyed any credibility about your software development opinions.

[–] hisao@ani.social -1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Why though? I think hating and maybe even disrespecting programming and wanting your job to be as much redundant and replaced as possible is actually the best mindset for a programmer. Maybe in the past it was a nice mindset to become a teamlead or a project manager, but nowadays with AI it's a mindset for programmers.

Before LLMs people were often saying this about people smarter than the rest of the group. “Yeah he was too smart and overengineered solutions that no one could understand after he left,”.

This part.

The fact that I dislike it that it turned out that software engineering is not a good place for self-expression or for demonstrating your power level or the beauty and depth of your intricate thought patterns through advanced constructs and structures you come up with, doesn't mean that I disagree that this is true.

[–] Feyd@programming.dev 5 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

The problem is that you don't realize that writing code that is difficult to maintain is in fact not a sign of intelligence, or "power level".

[–] hisao@ani.social -1 points 4 hours ago

It depends. If it's difficult to maintain because it's some terrible careless spaghetti written by person who didn't care enough, then it's definitely not a sign of intelligence or power level. But if it's difficult to maintain because the rest of the team can't wrap their head around type-level metaprogramming or edsl you came up with, then it's a different case.

demonstrating your power level

lolwut? I'm so tired of tech people acting like they're the next Genghis Khan or Julius Caesar...
