I'm becoming more and more certain that there are two kinds of people in the world: those for whom the end result is the main point, and those for whom the journey there is. Generative AI has revealed how stark this divide is.
I'm not saying either type is better than the other, but the recent technological changes certainly have put a lot of wind in the "end resulters'" sails. They must not be allowed to hijack the definition of programmer, hacker, geek.
