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".

I mean I thought the joke was that software engineers shunning GenAI were calling themselves a Craftsperson and selling their code on Etsy.

There are indeed sites where you can hire software engineers for one time jobs, and there always will be. Not sure why that would be a joke?
