A discussion on AI coding creating a new class of software developer:
- oldstackjournal observes people who'd never call themselves programmers—yet can describe systems, test them, argue with the model, spot when something smells wrong, and keep pushing—are shipping real software with AI, annoying plenty of pre-AI programmers.
- bendee983 adds that these are essentially technical PMs; engineers with product management experience gain the most from AI coding agents, while one-dimensional skillsets will be frustrated the most.
