is sitting down and writing a bunch of code.
I'm sitting down, I contemplate the issue, I understand the specifications, and then I write code, and the code is what I produced.
But it turns out, and AIs help us understand this and break it out into its parts better, is that in the process of making the work, making the code, there is a very nuanced, iterative process of correcting and straightening and feedback gathering and integrating things.
that is not just the printing of each line of code in sequence, right?
Like it is this holistic task.
And it turns out the AIs are incredibly good at a lot of that and not so good at others.
So the balance of work for a great engineer is shifting quickly.
And the way that work is shifting is just kind of writing the code is plummeting.
But making sure the code works or making sure the code is correct or not even correct as in logically correct as in bug free.
It's about that it provides value for the customer as they need it or it serves business goals or it actually is handling prioritized tasks for the organization, right?
This more nuanced concept of good.
Yeah, or perhaps even that it surprises and delights you.
Sure.
And there's many dimensions to that task.
And it seems that in the process of producing the code in the first place, engineers may not have considered that they were also doing this work too.
They weren't just printing the code.
They were doing this work too.
And this process of truing the thing and writing it and guiding it and taking risks about it and deciding, I'm going to experiment with it.
This paper Chris wrote says,
calls this verification, or this kind of like the catch-all term for this bucket of not the mere automation, but this sort of incorporating what was made and writing what was made to suit some end goal, some purpose.
