Feels like the most valuable skill to have as a programmer in times of Claude Code is that of carefully reading spec documentation and having an acute sense of critical thinking when reviewing code.




Critical Skills is spotting the potential bugs before they happen but in order to do that you need to have an extremely acute understanding or a have a lot of experience in the stack, libs and programming language of choice. Something that, ironically, you will not get by "vibe coding".

For seniors these skills are very valuable before LLM anyway.
