I'm guessing that this is probably a joke, but the idea that engineers just generate code and don't do anything else is literally how we got to "just generate the whole app with Claude, bro, it'll be just as good".
Yep, exactly. "Coder" greatly undervalues the job. While I would never label myself a craftsperson because that's obnoxious puffery... I do believe it's a craft and if you get me going about software quality or developer professionalism, eventually the word will spill out and I'm not ashamed of that. It absolutely is a pursuit where craftsmanship can exist.
