Comment on Cloudflare built an oauth provider with Claude

Agreed. It creates a new normal for what the engineer needs to actually know. In another comment I claimed that the same was true at the advent of stack overflow

I agree with that. It is a bit like SO on steroids, because you can even skip the copy&paste part. And we’ve been making fun of people who do that without understand the code for many years. I think with AI this will simply continue. There is the situation of junior devs, which I am kind of worried about. But I think in the end it’ll be fine. We’ve always had a smaller percentage of people who really know stuff and a larger group who just writes code.
