yeah it's pro con, I also hear my coworkers saying "I don't know how it works" or there are methods in the code that don't exist
But anyway I'm at the point in my career where I am not learning to code/can already do it. Sure languages are new/can help there for syntax
edit: other thing I'll add, I can see the throughput thing, it's like a person has never used opensearch before and it's a rabbithole, anything new there's that wall you have to overcome, but it's like we'll get the feature done, but did we really understand how it works... do we need to? Idk. I know this person can barely code but because they use something like chatGPT they're able to crap out walls of code and with tweaking it will work eventually -- I am aware this sounds like gatekeeping from my part
Ultimately personally I don't want to do software professionaly/trying to save/invest enough then get out just because the job part sucks the fun out of development. I've been in it for about 10 years now, should have been plenty of time to save but I'm dumb/too generous.
I think there is healthy skepticism too vs. just jumping on the bandwagon that everyone else is doing and really my problem is just I'm insecure/indecisive, I don't need everyone to accept me especially if I don't need money
Last rant, I will be experimenting with agentic stuff as I do like Jarvis, make my own voice rec model/locally runs.
