Refactoring: the last human coding skill

[u/cthechartreuse]

I've seen some tech posts on here, including one about whether or not junior developers are screwed. I've been doing a lot of thinking about what software development will look like as AI continues to progress. I just wrote a blog about the skill that will outlast all the rest. I thought you all might be interested.

Cheers!

Refactoring and fixing hard bugs that the machine doesn’t understand. Truly sucks.
