| I always enjoyed problem solving, and programming was more of a means to that end for me. These days, focusing on syntax feels a bit tedious, especially when LLMs can handle so much of it. That being said, I still find myself obsessing over code quality, reading and reviewing code, and thinking a lot about architecture and best practices. I still get a lot of satisfaction from building things well, even if the actual mechanics of typing out code aren't always the most exciting part. |

| in this world of LLM coding, we jumped to architect level |

I think the problem is that to really be a good architect, you need 10+ years of actually doing things to understand what should/should not be built, and the industry is rapidly removing the jobs that let people acquire that experience. | | |
| ▲ | qn9n a day ago | parent [-] | | Yeah I would recommend avoiding LLM's while learning to anyone new to programming, because I have experience with meticulously rewriting code until I was happy with it's performance, conciseness and readability I can see when an LLM is writing something that could be improved and just gently nudge it in that direction and it resolves the issue. |
