AI is an incredible tool. But at the end of the day it’s just a tool. It’s easy to get lost in countless attractive images, like the CPU / RAM / storage parallel, and I’m just as guilty of this. I also followed your onboarding pattern, started to use LLMs “industrially” just this February. Shipped 9 new apps in AapStore until now.

But I do not think our profession is over. It is changing, it is shifting, but it’s here to stay. I strongly believe our experience as senior engineers makes a huge difference. We know what questions to ask.

I am honestly more worried about juniors, and how to develop that "engineering taste" that seniors acquired with years of practice. I still remember many of my own mentors that helped me navigate the craft when I started. I am curious how this mentorship will change when AIs can replace the work that was outsource to juniors by more senior professionals.
