Ask HN: In the AI world what does "great" look like?

3 pointsarmcat22d ago1 comments

I had a chat with my team mate today and they brought up an interesting point. If AI is cooking our software and doing an amazing job, for us devs what does "great" look like? How do WE improve? How do we assess performance of us, i.e. "the humans"? What do we base salaries on?

Have you discussed this in your organisations? Does anyone have a plan? If your dev teams are creating scaffolding, harnesses, skills and getting CC to cook up everything, make PRs, perform reviews, find bugs, fix bugs, update architecture diagrams....what goals do you set in performance development talks?

Need some guidance.

Speaking just for myself (we don’t have these discussions at work), AI finally freed up my time for tasks that require actual architectural taste and business context. Because of this, our team managed to push forward a few projects - just because there was finally a human who had the time to design the solution and take responsibility for it. From what I’ve seen, business always values exactly this kind of people.
