from a video I just watched,
> these days, software engineering looks almost unrecognizable from how it was when I started this channel.
> I started making these videos because I wanted to dive super deeply into programming language topics and the conceptual machinery that powers every day code, and approach those nitty-gritty details with a lot of rigor and curiosity and enthusiasm.
> that's a big part of what I fell in love with in [...] software engineering. the tiny decisions that we make with every keystroke that add up to apis and architectures that are well-designed and codebases that are a joy to work in, rather than a pain.
> but, more and more, LLMs are raising the abstraction level to where many software engineers aren't making those tiny decisions in their code anymore.
> they're making the big decisions, which are, of course, really important as well, but as far as the practice of crafting beautiful code itself, I feel like I'm among the many where AI is coming for my job.
