As a long-time developer, the productivity jump is undeniable—MVPs that used to take weeks now take hours.
But something feels off. The role of the traditional software developer is clearly shifting, and not everyone wants to admit it yet.
I won’t pretend to have the answers. I do have reading material that’s actually thoughtful:
- Vibe Coding Is Mad Depressing
- Code Is Cheap Now, Software Isn’t
- What the Next Two Years of AI Development Look Like
- The Future of Software Development Is Software Developers
- Prompting People
- LLMs Are a Failure: A New AI Winter Is Coming
- AI Agents Are Starting to Eat SaaS
- I Miss Thinking Hard
Critical thinking didn’t go away. It just got more expensive.
