These last ten years I was really enjoying what Microsoft and its .NET teams were doing. Felt like a good community to be a part of. Huge strides to make things run anywhere and be more involved with the open source community.
While that hasn’t necessarily gone away, jamming LLM’s into everything is leaving a real sour taste. Pointless copilot button anywhere and everywhere. VS and VSCode pushing the GitHub copilot chats and agents.
We are quickly back to the corporate MSFT that doesn’t listen to its users or employees. All that good will has been washed away and now I feel the need to switch off of Windows.
That 10% is ideally “creating value” for the customer. Boilerplate code is not value, therefore outsource it to LLMs.
Pretty much, its the actually important code you wanna pay attention to.
The majority of code is just connecting pipe A up to pipe B, its honestly fine for an LLM to handle.
The job security comes from, as a developer, knowing which code goes in the 90% bin vs which goes in the 10% bin, being able to tell the difference is part of the job now.
