Armin was once one of the most prolific programmers in Python. Says he never writes code anymore. Seeing more and more people like him write stuff like this on what are supposedly computer programming forums. lobste.rs/s/qmjejh/ai_is_slowl

Notably, once a person crosses this threshold, I see them still hang out on programming forums, but they never talk about any of the puzzles of programming anymore. Only about running agents. Which feels strange and sad. Why hang out on the forums at all then?

AI is slowly munching away my passion

Steve Klabnik also had an interview on lobste.rs. There's a lot in it! It's a cool read! alexalejandre.com/programming/

And then it gets to the AI part and he's just like "oh I don't write code anymore".

And notably Steve Klabnik has a lot to say about code, but it's *all in the past*.

Lots of brilliant people are becoming non-practitioners.

Interview With Steve Klabnik

Steve Klabnik wrote the Rust Book, Jujutsu for Everyone, worked at Oxide etc.
