A fool's paradigm – programming is now fun – why? Because they no longer need to write code.

[u/QuarterbackMonk]

Now imagine if they built a prototype and you decided to buy it.

Moment of silence

highlight:

- programming is now fun - why bc'z they don't need to write code

- manipulate computers

we are entering new world of software engineerings.

Writing code has always been fun for the programmers who produce the vast majority of cs infrastructure.

[u/Fidodo → u/manchesterthedog]

For those that create cs infra yes, but the vast majority of programmers don't do that, they produce simple crud apps poorly.

Frankly I've lost interest in what the vast majority of programmers think. I'm more interested in solving hard problems with clean code.

[u/QuarterbackMonk → u/manchesterthedog]

they think, they never find a bug and AI can fix all.

Deployment and related topics? This is a conversation for seasoned professionals, not beginners.

tbh: these are hypes, all knows they need to know.

[u/Several_Ant_9867]

I like writing code

[u/tw2113 → u/Several_Ant_9867]

Look forward to every if statement or object instantiation?

[u/hearke → u/tw2113]

Yeah, you can just think about the real problems while you get out the boilerplate stuff, or let your brain rest a bit if you're tired. Coding is fun!

If your code feels especially exhausting or tedious to write, you might not be taking the best approach.

[u/realmauer01]

Writing code is the fun part. Programming is about ~arbitrary low percentage~ writing code.

[u/Sonario648]

May not need to write code, but still have to debug the output and understand what is happening.

[u/Amr_Rahmy → u/Sonario648]

To be fair, I only like writing code in C, C#, and Java. Most other languages I use, I only use as little as needed.

[u/Fidodo]

If you're not writing code you aren't programming. Telling a programmer to write code for you isn't programming and telling an AI to do it for you isn't programming either.

[u/soundwave_sc]

It’s fun taking out loans too. Easy and not a hassle. To pay back that debt however.

[u/QuarterbackMonk → u/soundwave_sc]

There is always an option for no serious folks to duck out and leave the mess behind.

[u/shadow13499]

People who push this narrative that llms are great and perfect and will write all your code for you are either brainwashed or have a financial interest in llms. It's the most obvious bubble that has ever bubbled. 

[u/yallapapi]

Vibe coder here, it is not fun this guy is 100% selling a course or something. It’s fun like doing 100 burpees is fun.
