I feel like all the useful software has already been written. We don't need new mail servers, web servers, database engines, web frameworks, programming languages, spreadsheets, music notation software. What remains is configuring and integrating what is out there and minor, incremental improvements here and there.
The only reliable way to make a living writing software is to ride the hype wave of the day - such as a adding LLMs to everything.
💰 Planning next quarter’s budget? AI tools aren’t free, and per‑seat costs add up fast.
📉 Pain point: Ignoring AI subscription costs can blow your dev budget, especially with multiple team members.
📈 Pro tip: Calculate ROI: estimate hours saved × developer rate vs. subscription fees. Invest where savings exceed spend.
AI isn't replacing software engineers—it's testing their core skills. Architecture, systems thinking, and strategic problem-solving remain vital as AI exposes complexity. #SoftwareEngineering #AI #TechTrends

When Cursor refractors my code in Agent mode
I wonder if using #AI to perform #vibecoding is a bit like the mythical #perpetualmotion #machine ?
If #LLM s rely on scouring the net, for example #stackoverflow , won't there be less to learn from as coding is done using #AI ?
So, how will #LLM s improve?

I read this article with a heavy sense of skepticism. But this isn't the first time I've encountered this idea recently. Is #SoftwareEngineering going the way of the #dodo ?

If you use #AI to "be more productive", you are optimizing towards a local minima!
Instead, you should zoom out, get a clear picture of the whole landscape and ultimately land in the global minima.
How? By changing the entire underlying system!

The Facade pattern provides a simple interface to complex subsystems. Instead of exposing 10 classes, create one that handles the common use cases. Simplifies client code significantly. #DesignPatterns #SoftwareEngineering

My promised bibliography of open-access CAISOR #AI articles from the 1960s-2010s. Each citation links into https://codeberg.org/tfw/pawn-75 's collected oddities. Because I focused on preserving rarities such as draft versions of papers from the 60s and a single sentence article with JOHN overwrote onto it, my collection should be regarded as a primary archive.

You're right! My code is absolutely trash! I see the problem!
Plot twist: After decades of being the "best profession on earth," software engineers are discovering they actually need to... engineer solutions, not just implement tickets. Revolutionary! 🤯
The "squeeze" is real - time to evolve from ticket-taker to problem-solver, or risk becoming obsolete in the AI age.
