Jeremy Scheff：编程的悼词
My obituary for programming
Jeremy Scheff 指出，为职业程序员设计的编码智能体导致了一个关键损失：编程变成了一个可以想象的最伟大的工作。人们付钱让我们解决棘手的逻辑谜题，谜题越难，报酬越高。但对于那些享受构建工作系统而非直接解决问题的程序员来说，LLMs 是持续的馈赠；如果直接解决问题是他们的主要乐趣，那么这种损失是真实的。

My obituary for programming (via) Jeremy Scheff poignantly captures the key loss caused by coding agents for career programmers who enjoyed the puzzle of developing code:
Programming turned into one of the greatest jobs you could imagine. You got paid to work on tricky little logic puzzles. The trickier the puzzle, the more you got paid. But even pretty simple puzzles were worth a lot of money because regular people just couldn't do it! No, they needed us. They would give us a problem and we would solve it the way we wanted. We set the strategy, we made the timeline, we defined what was and was not possible.
If you're a programmer who thrives on building working systems and doesn't care too deeply about the problems solved along the way, LLMs are the gift that keeps on giving.
If directly solving those problems was a big part of your enjoyment, the loss is very real.
