LLM coding assistants didn't create a split between craft-lovers and make-it-go developers. They revealed one that was always there.

For craft-lovers, what's being bypassed isn't the output but the act itself. Marx called this separation from the act of production. But the alienation isn't coming from the LLM. It's coming from a market that penalizes whoever produces output more slowly.

Why craft-lovers are losing their craft

Fuck

@hongminhee
The bio-mechanics of making a cognitive idea physical (know how-to make ) is directly connected and a feedback loop to the cognitive idea (know what-to).

How would anyone know what-to make without the know how-to feedback loop?

Ideas and imagination are infinite!

@hongminhee There is also the extent to which one is salting one's own earth by producing poor quality code. Working as a long-term staff developer on any project where quality is regularly sacrificed to meet release deadlines leads to a growing realisation that your job will eventually become untenable. Eventually the bugs and technical debt pile up the workload to the point where you have to get out for your own sanity. I've worked on a couple of projects like this even before LLMs existed.

LLM 코딩 어시스턴트는 소프트웨어 엔지니어들 사이의 分裂(분열)을 만든 게 아니다. 이미 있던 分裂(분열)을 드러낸 것이다.

匠人(장인) 氣質(기질)의 소프트웨어 엔지니어들이 느끼는 疎外(소외)의 源泉(원천)은 LLM이 아니다. 그들의 產出物(산출물)을 더 느리게 만드는 쪽에 不利益(불이익)을 주는 市場(시장)이다. Marx의 勞動(노동) 疎外論(소외론)으로 이 問題(문제)를 읽어보는 새 글을 썼다.
