Honestly agreed on chat agents missing the ideal UX. At the very least, I think we've all been forced into a chat like UX. I feel like we should have other options too. I love the …

I built a pair programmer, using AI, but now am trying to go slow with new languages and paradigms using this package. I have noticed a decline in my programming skills, and wonder…

Many reasons Everyone else is using LLMs to assist their development, which makes it a lot harder to work without them, especially in just building enterprise apps. It doesn't feel…

LLMs have sucked all of the joy out of software engineering for me, and I've been doing it for 12 years. As others have pointed out, I'm looking at a career shift now. I'm essentia…

I too am feeling this way. I liked the deep engagement and flow state that came at least to me through actually typing out my program and having to deeply think about things.
