Simon Willison 回应《我为编程写的讣告》:编程智能体夺走了程序员的解谜乐趣
Simon Willison 转发并评论了 Jeremy Scheff 的文章,指出 coding agents 夺走了职业程序员在开发代码时享受解谜的乐趣。他认为,若程序员只关心系统构建结果,LLM 是极佳的工具,但若享受解决逻辑谜题的过程,这种乐趣的失落将非常真实。

My obituary for programming (via) Jeremy Scheff poignantly captures the key loss caused by coding agents for career programmers who enjoyed the puzzle of developing code:
Programming turned into one of the greatest jobs you could imagine. You got paid to work on tricky little logic puzzles. The trickier the puzzle, the more you got paid. But even pretty simple puzzles were worth a lot of money because regular people just couldn't do it! No, they needed us. They would give us a problem and we would solve it the way we wanted. We set the strategy, we made the timeline, we defined what was and was not possible.
If you're a programmer who thrives on building working systems and doesn't care too deeply about the problems solved along the way, LLMs are the gift that keeps on giving.
If solving those many problems were a big part of your enjoyment, the loss is very real.
