tl;dr: Pydantic's author argues that LLM-assisted coding, while genuinely productive, has created a new "supervision fatigue": the satisfying parts of programming (problem-solving, small wins) have been automated away, leaving developers with the exhausting work of reviewing, specifying, and course-correcting mostly-plausible AI output. The result is work that feels simultaneously more productive and less rewarding, more parallelized but lonelier, and addictive in a Skinner-box way. The author compares it to the responsive design transition—craft evolving rather than dying—where taste, architectural judgment, and deep expertise become more valuable, not less, as the human becomes the quality gate for higher output volumes.
