42 is a good number. I started coding in 1983. With BASIC mainly, then assembly, Pascal, C and many others. I saw in coding the 8th world wonder. I almost naturally became a dev. And now, I became so bored I’m really considering using dev only for my hobbies, and not for work anymore…

40+ years of coding, now a retired pro coder. Let’s face it, LLM are better at coding then we are. At least for common task and so much faster. Now let’s make AI more sustainable and eco-friendly and get the best of this new era…

And voilà: I’m now doing most of my code via AI except for niche and hobby topics. Focusing on architecture, with an AI assistant for coding is … really good.

Got so tired of doing the same thing on an on… I thought that coding would be nice for a change after being an architect for so many years. I tried to be a dev again to get back in touch with technique. Didn’t work as expected. Everything has become so dull.

Architect was cool actually. And even cooler now. You have a full virtual dev team at your service to prototype and test rapidly, if you have some experience in project management, it’s even better.

Actually, I'm now trying to get out from professional coding. Hopefully: - I will succeed soon enough, - I will be able to play with my homemade emulators, do more #golang, #zig ... - and, essentially, make coding great and fun again

Maybe is it a question of evolution. I loved the way we had to outsmart the machine to get our programs running. I think devs essentially love solving puzzles.🧩

And it’s becoming a reality… I’m seriously considering retiring from professional coding. Still love software architecture though.
