I love software engineering!
In my 6+ years in this industry, I've seen things move incredibly fast—to the point where software can be built faster than ever. You don't even have to write everything yourself anymore, thanks to AI. For someone who spent nights reading through documentations, learning different patterns and tools, and painfully testing solutions, that shift feels a bit bittersweet.
These days, I find myself thinking less about just writing clean, efficient code, and more about designing systems and products with clarity and intent.
That said, I still write software "by hand". Partly to stay sharp, but mostly because I enjoy it. There's just something grounding about it. It helps me stay connected to the craft and makes it easier to understand (and often times, question) what AI produces. That balance matters to me.
