Simon Willison 撰文：编程代理让程序员的“解谜乐趣”消失
My obituary for programming
AI 导读
Simon Willison 发文回应 Jeremy Scheff 的观点，指出编程代理对职业程序员造成的核心损失是“解谜乐趣”的消失。
摘要与补充说明
Scheff 认为编程曾是收入优厚的工作，从业者靠解决逻辑难题获得报酬，难题越难报酬越高，普通人无法胜任，因此程序员掌握策略、时间线和可行性定义权。Willison 补充，对于热衷于构建可用系统、不太在意沿途具体问题的程序员，LLM 是持续馈赠；若直接解题本身构成乐趣的重要部分，这种损失则非常真实。

My obituary for programming (via) Jeremy Scheff poignantly captures the key loss caused by coding agents for career programmers who enjoyed the puzzle of developing code:
Programming turned into one of the greatest jobs you could imagine. You got paid to work on tricky little logic puzzles. The trickier the puzzle, the more you got paid. But even pretty simple puzzles were worth a lot of money because regular people just couldn't do it! No, they needed us. They would give us a problem and we would solve it the way we wanted. We set the strategy, we made the timeline, we defined what was and was not possible.
If you're a programmer who thrives on building working systems and doesn't care too deeply about the problems solved along the way, LLMs are the gift that keeps on giving.
If directly solving those problems was a big part of your enjoyment, the loss is very real.
