I am curious how the workflow of people, who do not write code at all, looks like, or what products do they build. In my experience LLMs are an excavator, but you still have to tweak the fine details with a shovel.
You break down tasks until the LLM can do it. The scale you work at depends on the reasoning skill of the LLM.
What skill atrophy? I'm building more programs than I ever was and learning about so many software building related subjects.
I use AI for Kubernetes. On a day-to-day basis, it runs 80%+ of my kubectl commands. It’s the most steroidal auto-complete I’ve tried. But I do get dumber for it. What I do to compensate: - make it my duty to own every change, i.e. cognitively debt-free: - write summaries on every new thing I do (blog post, memo to colleague) - contribute documentation to the open-source projects I rely on - practice for CKA/CKAD cer…
That being said, Claude is dumb. I've seen it over-complicate diagnosing things - even though it's initial theory was correct.
I am convinced a good harness can solve this.
Outside of the k8s operating model, I don't see the point of becoming a wiz at the CLI. I learn by practice and I atrophy if i do not practice, there's no world where I will get enough practice to do it on my own anymore.
I compensate by trying to either move up or down the stack depending on the problem.

Tough to do this when the rest of the company is using LLMs to generate 3x the number of apps and then your performance goes down because you're not delivering as quickly as others
It's not tough if you do your job and your management has no issues with you. What others are doing doesn't affect your performance.
When performance is measured in productivity it absolutely does.

Doesn't matter if they're generating 3x the number of apps if they're all shite and unmaintainable
While I agree that their apps will be bad as they're purely vibe coded. But metrics are metrics aren't they?

If others are delivering 15 apps per week and if we choose to not use AI at all, then our performance is down
