The Death of a Software Craftsman (it happens a lot 'round here)

AI Abstinence? All in on Agents? Or resign yourself to becoming a niche craftsperson?
Kerrick Long (code)@davetron5000 In case you find it helpful, the "All In" Problem #2 you mentioned can be ameliorated by cloning your dependencies' source code and putting them in reach of a coding agent. I've found it extremely helpful for using niche technologies with LLM-augmented programming.
@davetron5000 In one of my projects I've gone so far as to give it access to the source code of:
- ruby
- concurrent-ruby
- minitest
- minitest/mock
- crossterm
- ratatui
- steep
- rbs
- magnus
- rb-sys
It doesn't dive into any of them often, but it's *really* helpful when it needs to (or when I decide it needs to, saying "prove it!")
