I've been a full stack and frontend focused engineer for six years and got sick of writing code by hand. Moved to design.
Now since I can code with my voice basically I'm getting back into vibe coding and building products. And it's awesome.
My bosses still trying to figure out the new situation though, i think the old school separation of roles is starting to die.Being on the intersection I think is the best place to be right now. I feel like my whole life I've been preparing for this moment.
Don't really agree, in my experience the switching context is extremely costly. I personally have trouble having even a couple of sessions running in parallel,Especially when I'm talking difficult hard to solve problems. Of course it's easy for trivial jobs, but it's not always the case. I have been much more successful in making my time worth by taking a look at the model's output and actively participating.It gives me time to think as well.When I have a list of simple tasks I just tell it to the model and it executes one after another.
I have developed five applications for my Mac using claude that I made for myself. I'm perfectly happy with the setup. The projects help me solve daily problems. I could never have had the time or the skill to do them myself.
I have a similar experience. My hobby project was put on hold after a burnout and lack of motivation. I got a big burst of energy back when I started implementing some long desired features quickly with these new models. I was able to get the project to the point of what I consider is maturity. I did in a month during free time the kind of work that would have burned me up in a good six months fulltime.
I am having immense success with the latest models developing a personal project that I open sourced and then got burned off by.I can't write anymore by hands but I do enjoy writing prompts with my voice.I have been shipping the best code the project has ever seen.The revolution is real.
