@vaurora interesting article! Personally I don't view myself as an artist or a mercenary–or someone who gets paid to type, for that matter. I am a software *engineer* and taking responsibility for what you're building is part of that distinction IMO.
I do agree that these conversations and choices were easier when LLMs were obviously unfit for generating code. But producing feasibly working code as fast as possible isn't actually what a software engineer's job entails.
