Programmers aren't going anywhere. But to be frank, "Able to leverage AI assistance for massive productivity gains" should be at the top of your resume.

@danielpunkass .. and be a red flag.

Despite being all in on Claude Code, I am also aware of the fact that it is currently the getting from idea to first implementation that is 5x.

Then there’s the painful awakening that I don’t fully understand my own code base after a dozen or so CC interventions.

I’m reminded of the classic Douglas Adams quote:

"No matter how fast the body travels, the soul only travels at the speed of an Arcturan Mega-Donkey."

@frankreiff Yeah, I have to force it to take things slow. I was just doing a massive refactor and asked it to do one call site at a time so I could review. Setting it up with language like that helps a lot.
@danielpunkass yeah, I’ve zeroed in on that kind of work after going down the 8 agents in their own worktrees route.. there’s so much potential but the traps are incredibly hard to see.
