I can steer agent to write code that I’m comfortable reading and maintaining. If it goes off the rails, I can just tell it to refactor. I can ship and get sales faster than if i were doing 100% coding by myself.
After thinking about it, I realized my initial resistance was mostly because it challenged decades of my technical habits and comfort zones. But if I steer it properly, it can basically handle the whole engineering process better and faster than I can.
In the end, it pushes me more into the managerial side of things. talking to people, aligning the product with what customers actually need, getting more sales, etc. And i'm really happy about that.
This won’t work for every engineer. Some people just really hate the management side of things.
I haven’t worn wristwatch anymore, since the dawn of smart phones. All my time information has moved into that, in my pocket. That’s my only dependency.
It’s become much harder to get back into the airline industry now because of the supply-demand situation.
Anyway, my friend now became regular staff at local factory, doing something completely unrelated to aviation and aerospace knowledge. It’s really painful to break out of our “locked-in” comfort zone.
Holy F. elephant in the room !
Upgrade toward sales and management ?. At least cover our basic daily needs, so we still have freedom to explore different interesting domains.
I feel sorry for brilliant engineers who rely too heavily on their technical skills, because those skills can become almost "irrelevant" in day-to-day work.
Some of them literally refuse to adopt AI in their problem-solving process. They still can't accept that “my hard-earned knowledge from decades of learning can be wiped out in just one day.”
most of my query now are llm generated. i created custom api to connect llm to any databases im currently using.
"always give ultimate decent code in term of maintanibility, cleaness, and perf".
LOL. Kindly do this prompt to any LLM : "critize this statement, or any logical fallacy inside"
Try applying the same level of skepticism to your own statements before posting them on HN.
create pgsql.table as (select * from mysql.table)
all data types automatically inferred. you dont have to define it manually.

We need a new, authentic scenario.
As an artisan, everything’s automated now.
You can’t just stay in the kitchen anymore.
you now have to focus on leverage. sales, growth, hiring, affiliating, etc.
To make more people’s lives better (with faster pace).
2026 prayer: for all you AI junkies—please don’t pollute H/N with your dirty AI gaming.
Don’t bot posts, comments, or upvote/downvote just to maximize karma. Please.
We can’t identify anymore who’s a bot and who’s human. I just want to hang out with real humans here.
We really dont need playStore and appStore to run beautiful things like this.
edit: more polarized society.
We can’t control their addictiveness, but we can control what they consume.
Or just leave it as is? So the “focused society” ends up controlling the “unfocused” ones?
Grok be like. okey. :))
