The author reflects on nearly two decades of software engineering, realizing that AI will soon improve efficiency and output in coding. Drawing parallels with historical transformations, they explore how new technologies create different roles rather than wholly replace older systems. The emergence of 'vibeware' suggests a future where creative developers use AI-enhanced tools for a more fluid software development experience, similar to how Google transformed libraries. The article underscores a shift in value for traditional code crafting amidst technological evolution.
"My craft is code. AI will be better at it, in many ways, in a matter of months."
"New systems never replace old ones, but only surround and encapsulate them."
