Simon Willison 转载文章:编程工作的悼词

Why we picked it

Willison 转了一篇程序员写的告别文:靠解谜题拿高薪的日子没了,写得很戳心,干这行的都懂。

Simon Willison 在博客转载 Jeremy Scheff 的文章,讨论编程智能体对职业程序员的影响。文章指出,过去编程是靠解逻辑谜题获得高薪的职业,程序员自己定策略、定时间线。Willison 认为,喜欢搭建可用系统的人会从 LLM 中受益,而享受直接解决问题过程的人损失是真实的。文章经 lobste.rs 讨论后引发关注。

My obituary for programming 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. Via lobste.rs Tags: programming , careers , ai , generative-ai , llms , coding-agents , deep-blue
