I'm becoming more and more certain that there are two kinds of people in the world: those for whom the end result is the main point, and those for whom the journey there is. Generative AI has revealed how stark this divide is.

I'm not saying either type is better than the other, but the recent technological changes certainly have put a lot of wind in the "end resulters'" sails. They must not be allowed to hijack the definition of programmer, hacker, geek.

It also makes me think there's a divide on how many steps people choose or are able to see ahead.

They tell people who liked the journey that they're way is inefficient and you need only prompt to build, not seeing that in two years they're boss will be saying the same thing to them because they don't warrant the salary to pay them to do the same thing anyone with an idea can do.
