the "software engineering" i was doing in 2022 has been fully killed by fable for a minute i thought it wasn't that different to opus/codex, but once you get fable managing sub-agents, it becomes clear that it's 10x better i used to be half joking when i said i wasted years of my life learning programming languages by hand, but now that's just 100% true there's approximately 0 value in knowing how to code if you want a job building things today, you better know how to actually build product end to end. don't expect that you can just be a CRUD monkey anymore you need to have your own ideas & vision, be capable of sending outbound & taking feedback, iterating, marketing, improving, deciding when to stop loss and pivot, then running through that loop on repeat the only value left in us meatbags is our ability to be accountable & own things end to end
