LLMs are eroding my software engineering career and I don't know what to do
Hacker News (AI keywords)7 days agoOpinionThe author argues that LLMs are eroding three pillars of his software engineering career: domain knowledge, debugging skill, and architecture judgment. Tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Claude Code, Codex, MCP, Sentry MCP, and DataDog MCP increasingly handle design, implementation, and difficult production bugs. The essay frames this as a labor-market concern, not just a tooling debate: if expertise becomes promptable, engineers may struggle to remain differentiated.
Did Claude Increase Bugs in rsync?

The solution might be cancelling my AI subscription
Simon Willison's Weblog14 days agoCommentarySimon Willison relates to David Wilson's reflection on launching more than 16 projects with AI tooling. A request for a quick Claude script can expand into an hour-long project without solving the original problem.
