The Code Was the Documentation, Until
The code was the documentation, until:
Nobody knows how to code and everyone is a project manager, who manages specs, you don't know about the code besides what your other AI told you about it. What matters is it passed QA. Not just the tests that AI wrote. Actual QA test engineers say it works. I just don't see these new spec writing project managers doing their own QA except on vanity projects. But since that is obviously the future, start doing it now even if there are advantages to continuing to write code with a little prompt engineering now and then. You are already doing it wrong!
Death of DevOps return of QA:
DevOps was probably the last hot mountain you had to climb. The previous learning curve had a pretty short payout. Did you get in front of the last one and get the big big money? The influencers are saying what nobody is talking about is your previous certification is now worthless. The bros that missed the last hustle jump on this one, they want to take your contracts. And the ones that have been in the game a while believe this is the final play, their last chance. DevOps, Blockchain, Node etc... This is it, the last time you get to use a keyboard to make good money. All the QA engineers got fired about 10 years ago when Agile made end users test the things that Unit Testing and DevOps continuous integration couldn't. It's time to rethink that. We are going to need a lot of them, and we will pay them little.
Now you get to figure out how fast your competition is moving on AI and see if you can afford to keep up or hope they bankrupt themselves and their remaining employees jump out windows. Good news bro, you can run your own model, you have choices, you just have to choose the right harness. Buckle up and close the loop. Did you think you were going to escape one service contract without buying another? LOL.
