The Death of the Stubborn Developer (steve-yegge.medium.com)

The author spends too much energy naming things—roles, tools, trends—when what really matters is the message. Whether it’s arguing over what to call “junior” devs or debating if Chat-Oriented Programming (CHOP) is the right term, we’re missing the point.

The message is clear: adapt or get left behind. LLMs and automation are reshaping things, and the people stuck arguing over names are the ones falling behind.

Stop obsessing over labels. Focus on learning, adapting, and staying ahead. While you’re busy naming the problem, someone else is already solving it.
