They say coding is dead because everybody can use Claude Code now. The truth is that nobody would ever hire such a person. The new meta is to find 1 extremely cracked AI whisperer who can replace 20 normal devs. Become that 1 guy.

Using a dialed in ai workflow, you can get up to speed on projects quick af. For those of us with no reputation in the space and looking to make a career out of it, is it better to dabble in different projects or go really deep and supercharge one project?
Indeed. Myself and another engineer at work both created several complex PRs last week and it cost 13 dollars each in tokens. Coding is way under minimum wage However, architecture and managing all of the other systems as well as company expectations is not free and not easy or automated… yet.
I think the real problem is that the expectations are gonna get so high that it’s gonna break your fucking brain doing this work
