I like asking questions because I want to learn from other developers. Expect a lot of them here. Here is one to start. What is one software engineering truth you completely changed your mind about?

Is there even one senior software engineer (10+ years in the game) who genuinely believes AI will replace humans within 5 years? Like, truly believes it. Not just clickbait. If that’s you, I need to hear why. Drop your thoughts 👇

Lots of growing uncertainty around SWE jobs. Does anyone else have experience going through times like this in the past? What was the outcome?

No one is posting to Stack Overflow anymore. What data will AI models use for training?

It’s so obvious the future of software engineering is reviewing and maintaining generated code and systems. It’s more important now than ever to become an expert in your domain.

At some point you realize that no one is going to hold your hand through your software engineering career. You will be left behind if you don’t realize this soon.

How many years till you felt like you were a “skilled” dev?

I never understood cheating on assignments in university. You literally pay to learn and yet you decide not to learn?? Can't imagine what AI has done to assignments nowadays.

People who are preaching that Ai will replace programmers have never worked on large scale enterprise applications.

Will there be more tech jobs or less due to advancements in AI?

Good morning. If you aren’t putting in effort to learn something new today, you’ll become obsolete faster than the number of JavaScript frameworks released daily.

Tech evolves. So should you.

Domain knowledge is starting to become a lot more important as coding is becoming a lot more accessible.

Good morning software engineers. What will you learn today so that you will not be replaced any time soon?

Shoutout to everyone making this tweet possible: -Fiber & network engineers laying the cables -ISPs & BGP wizards routing the packets -Sysadmins keeping servers running -Devs maintaining Twitter’s stack Who else deserves recognition?

Evolution of Hello World: Assembly: mov rax, 1 *manual labor* C: printf("Hello, World!\n"); *somewhat civilized* Python: print("Hello, World!") *luxury* Prompting: "Write a Python script that prints 'Hello, World!'" *peak laziness* What comes after prompting?

Serious question. Do you say 'please' when you prompt?

There are 3 generations of programmers: - pre Stack Overflow - Stack Overflow - post Stack Overflow

If LLMs existed during my university days, I wouldn’t have learned a thing

If your coding journey was a book, what would the title be? Wrong answers only.

If you can’t teach it simply, you don’t understand it deeply.
