Programmer as wizard, programmer as engineer
Context matters. Sometimes we need to get things done, sometimes we need to build things to last.
Programming as Theory Building: Why Senior Developers Are More Valuable Than Ever
Peter Naur's 1985 theory of programming explains why experience matters more in the age of AI-generated code

“I am not a programmer” | Teleogistic
Spend a few minutes in a place where software users interact with software developers – support forums, dev trackers, face-to-face team meetings – and you’re bound to hear this phrase used (or one of its relatives: I am not [a geek|a developer|a coder|tech-savvy], etc).

Developers, Reinvented – Thomas Dohmke
What started as fear of AI replacing developers is switching to pragmatically embracing the ambitious reality of AI and viewing it as a growth opportunity. As we build the tools of tomorrow, we can usher developers through this reinvention of their role in ways that are intuitive, delightful, and cater to developers’ curiosity, keeping them fulfilled and happy during the transition.

A proposal: how to hire junior engineers in the age of AI | Seldo.com
Junior developer hiring has collapsed because nobody knows how to interview for the new AI-assisted job. Coding interviews are dead. The replacement: give candidates an LLM roleplaying as a customer, another LLM to build with, and see who figures out what to actually build.
