Scrolled way too far for a lucid take like yours.

This seems to be a bit of an echochamber.

I wish people would just be a little more honest. When they say “writing code” they actually mean hunting through stack overflow for bits of code you can string together. Take stack overflow out of the loop for argument sake. Your a unicorn information superhighway ninja. Snowcrash hasn’t left your bedside for decades. Mountain Dew and volt cans litter the floor space of your home …and you’re still just orchestrating a bunch of libraries you never saw the source code of.

I think a lot of people built their identity on being coders and that’s why they hate where the industry is going.
