- No tool gives good results with bad treatment. Mastery in a technology is invaluable. If there's a quirk in version 21.0.1 that a human clearly knows, but their AI tool doesn't? That's a win.
- Whatever tool you use, know where to look in its work - based on its behavior. Know HOW to check if that exact tool's work fits your requirements. This cuts through review-drama.
- It is important to know the current marketing point of AI tools; which indeed is to help make software, but in reality, it is about making software, with a FAR. SHORTER. LIFE!
- Finally, making development stress-less in our modern software business culture where "non-technical optimizers" are in charge of "technical builders".
Even if AI tools start building software better, developers' views won't switch. We will still respect skills that help us decrease complexity, costs, ...and our collective coma. | null | null |
