Grief and the AI Split

These are good observations about "the split".

It wasn't apparent to me before the advent of LLMs that many of my colleagues think very differently about software. Obviously, the primary goal of software is to Do Thing, but to me, a lot of the satisfaction of my job comes from kneading the code until it's as streamlined, simple and elegant as I can make it while accumulating a thorough understanding of the entire system.

I don't like how coding agents disconnect me from that process.
