我的编程悼词

英文标题:My obituary for programming

本文探讨了 Coding Agent(编码智能体)和 LLM 对职业程序员带来的深层心理与职业冲击。文章指出,编程曾是一份只需解决棘手逻辑谜题即可获得丰厚回报与极高自主权的理想职业。随着 AI 逐步接管具体代码编写,热衷于构建系统的开发者获得了生产力红利,但对于真正享受亲手“解谜”乐趣的程序员而言,这种职业体验正面临不可逆转的失落。

我的编程悼词(来源)Jeremy Scheff 深刻捕捉到了 Coding Agent 给那些享受编写代码“解谜过程”的职业程序员所带来的核心失落感:

编程曾经演变成你能想象到的最棒的工作之一。你能一边解决棘手的逻辑小谜题,一边赚取报酬。谜题越难,报酬就越高。但即便是相当简单的谜题也能值大钱,因为普通人根本搞不定!不,他们需要我们。他们给我们一个问题,我们按自己的想法去解决它。我们制定策略,排定工期,定义什么是可能的、什么是不可能的。

如果你是一名热衷于构建可用系统、且并不太在乎一路走来具体解决什么细碎问题的程序员,那么 LLM 就是一份源源不断的厚礼。

但如果亲手直接解决那些问题构成了你大部分乐趣的来源,那么这种失落感是极其真实的。

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.
