When I open my social media feeds, it is obvious: the age of writing code with our fingers is ending. LLMs and agents can write code much faster.
But was it ever about the speed of source code creation? Was writing code only translating requirements into something the computer can understand?
I think not.
While I generate code with LLMs and agents, creating a piece of code by hand has its benefits. So, this is an ode to “slowly” handcrafted code.
