Jeremy Scheff 撰写《My obituary for programming》:编程智能体夺走了程序员的解谜乐趣
My obituary for programming
Jeremy Scheff 在《My obituary for programming》中指出,编程智能体让程序员失去了工作中最核心的乐趣——解决一个个棘手的逻辑谜题。他写道,过去程序员因能解决普通人做不到的问题而获得高薪与自主权,如今 LLM 让这类解谜能力不再稀缺。对于更看重构建可用系统而非解题过程的程序员,LLM 是持续馈赠;但对享受解题本身的职业程序员而言,这种损失非常真实。

My obituary for programming (via) Jeremy Scheff poignantly captures the key loss caused by coding agents for career programmers who enjoyed the puzzle of developing code:
Programming turned into one of the greatest jobs you could imagine. You got paid to work on tricky little logic puzzles. The trickier the puzzle, the more you got paid. But even pretty simple puzzles were worth a lot of money because regular people just couldn't do it! No, they needed us. They would give us a problem and we would solve it the way we wanted. We set the strategy, we made the timeline, we defined what was and was not possible.
If you're a programmer who thrives on building working systems and doesn't care too deeply about the problems solved along the way, LLMs are the gift that keeps on giving.
If solving those many problems were a big part of your enjoyment, the loss is very real.
