"This is what being a professional programmer before AI was: - Hours writing boilerplate code - Hours reading documentation - Hours researching on Google - Hours debugging weird issues - Hours spent trying to understand client pitches Being able to go through all this crap ensured job security. You could get away with just learning and writing code all day long. Now thanks to AI writing boilerplate is unacceptable. Hours reading documentation sends you to the nearest asylum. Hours searching on Google is a huge waste of time. Most issues are fixed in no time given the right context. My advice:"
