I tre tipi di software engineer secondo The Pragmatic Engineer:

  • Builders: those who care about quality, good architecture, following good coding practices, and who talk about the craft of software engineering, etc.

  • Shippers: those who primarily focus on outcomes for a product, features, testing, and experimenting with users. A fair number of leaders, managers, and engineers who were more hands-off with coding before AI tools are in this category, as are product engineers.

  • Coasters: engineers who are not considered particularly good or great engineers, but they get the work done. They often do this without much taste or concern for quality, and seem to be mostly coasting along and doing what they’re told.

Con l'AI, queste categorie restano ma con diversi livelli di entusiasmo e pro/contro. Il resto nell'articolo.
