ENGINEERS AND AI: RAMBLINGS OF A SMALL STARTUP FOUNDER

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

While everyone seems to want to replace software engineers, AI just isn't there yet. Not everyone can just dive into a problem with little context and get started - it takes time to understand the problem and ask relevant questions to determine requirements. There is value in being able to say 'I don't know how to do this', but this is less and less likely to happen now that people are falling back to AI for answers when all else fails. People learn by doing something hard - struggle is part of improvement.
