'Coding with AI is boring' sparks debate: ship anything vs lose the craft
NERDDISCO · x · 2026-11-03
A debate over AI coding's meaning: @toddmotto argues coding with AI is 'incredibly boring' — developers are problem solvers, prompting a machine offers no gratification, and once the novelty wears off 'are we just glorified copywriters with tech knowledge?'
@NERDDISCO pushes back: it's not about coding anymore, but shipping whatever you want without any limitation but your own mind. Two archetypal stances in the dev community: process-craft vs outcome-shipping.
