On a long enough timeline, just remembering how to code will probably become invaluable when something breaks, nobody knows how it works and their agent refuses to fix it. In the short term, I am wa...

Interesting! I've seen plenty of the opposite: people with little-to-no coding experience/knowledge making absolute trash!

On your first point, I had that belief previously however now I'm not so certain. On one hand models keep getting better and on the other vibed codebases can be insanely hard to understand even if you know how to code.

Setting hard limits on review time per PR while trusting automated checks to handle the nitpicks keeps both your sanity and code quality intact. ⚡ Working on restarting my software career amidst everything; my pinned post has all the background.

Usually asking your clankers to go through the code and explain what’s being done is a very good way to caching any logical bugs. We all work on different parts of the stack. We review things that are overlapping. If we disagree with something we fight with our swords and axes (we fight a lot haha...

This is a tough one. I've had clients with top-notch professional devs get on the AI coding assistant path and lose a lot of their cohesion and ability to collaborate. I think we're all discovering how to do this in real time.
