Dialogue between a developer and a kid

Context

This is hilariously funny. What a real developer is? Who knows languages? No, who knows how to code, No! A developer is someone who sticks to a problem when everyone has given up. This conversation feels like me and my friend. My friend is the reason I am here today. He knew programming well. I was inspired from him, he gave me advice to learn one programming language, I was boasting about python, C and C++. I feel like a kid here. That was 7 years ago, time flies by.

This is real advice. People are hyping about the next workflow to 100x our productivity. Its ok to be 1x and still push less bugs than 100x and push 1000 bugs.

On not using Django

I don’t quite get it. Maybe its true. Django provided a good start but then it was like a lock in. With LLMs its quite easy to generate the boilerplatey code that django provides out of the box, so that demand is lost? Its not the only reason django is here right? It has extensions, best python community and even more best documentation. I think it will be the best framework to build with LLMs in the future if the ecosystem continues to improve

This is cool, we make logging a mess. For logs we need to have separate scripts to get relevant data. How much chaos it can be.

The year I stopped writing code

This is interesting and eye opening. It actually gave me the reason to be active while working with LLMs. Reviewing is hard, most developers avoid it, that’s the part you need to be doing, in order to be a better one. That point I had ignored and it has came to haunt me in the year throughout. This new year though, will be different. I have decided to take LLM generated code with a grain of salt.

This is vibe coded in a day. Gemini CLI and Amp. Just ripped it I read Golang was good to work with AI Agents, thought of building some backend with it and lo behold, it did one shot it almost. For the frontend I choose Vue. Surprisingly its a great UI. I am honestly impressed. I didn’t write a single line of code, let even see. I always wanted to make this, but was very lazy to do all of the meddling with the boilerplatey code, it just did in a few minutes.

You have to defend your creativity

That just triggered me up.

Sachin Tendulkar didn’t became a God of Cricket by accident, he defended his goal, he played to his strength and not defend his weakness.

That doesn’t mean you can avoid responsibilities, you can pursue your career without neglecting duties, it proved by people.

This is so true

In the 1990s, a “middle-class job” was enough to buy a house. Being “6 feet” was enough to be tall.

In the 2020s, the middle has been hollowed out.

To be “wealthy” now requires a crypto-exit or a tech IPO (The Economic 6’7”).

To be “famous” requires global virality (The Social 6’7”).

To be “attractive” requires filters and surgery (The Aesthetic 6’7”).
