Simon Willison 为编程写讣告：coding agents 夺走了程序员的解谜乐趣
My obituary for programming
Jeremy Scheff 撰文指出，coding agents 让热爱解谜的程序员失去了编程的核心乐趣：过去写代码如同带薪做逻辑谜题，越难越值钱，普通人做不了，程序员掌握策略、时间线和可行性定义权。对只想构建可用系统的人，LLM 是持续馈赠；但对享受直接解题过程的人，这种损失非常真实。

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 directly solving those problems was a big part of your enjoyment, the loss is very real.
