replyCoding has already gone this way and plenty of people do find motivation and glory in the final product vs. the building of the product (myself included). I absolutely see value in a person being able to humanize llm math output and see the field moving in that direction.
I don’t think you’d be doing this if you were paid peanuts. I also think coding is in a transitional period, most people who claim they are “building the product” are going to lose their jobs as the models get better.
replyI am genuinely doing it for free in my free time on top of my work (in fact I pay for the models) so I am doing it for less than peanuts. I completely disagree w/r/t the model take, their is skill in steering work to get a product done that is what management has always been about, I do think in the long run this will be automated but I have seen 0 progress on it so far.
replyI disagree, there’s no future in “Steering” a model. You ask what you want, and the model delivers. Opus 5.5 is getting there already, A single line prompt creates a fully functional game engine that can be used to make many different games : https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=R_uf5OfMGio&t=3555s

replyPlease explain to me what great prompting / steering you will do when your customer can just prompt exactly what he wants and get a product even more tailored to his needs.
Natural language is too lossy for most usecases and people are bad at being specific enough to get what they want. For example, I am not creative enough to think of movie ideas compared to good directors so I will probably just pay to see what they cook up rather than try to make it myself.
