I'm the so-so programmer

And though I’ve always found the fiddly parts of programming the most calming, and the most essential, I’m not especially good at them. I’ve failed many classic coding interview tests of the kind you find at Big Tech companies. The thing I’m relatively good at is knowing what’s worth building, what users like, how to communicate both technically and humanely. A friend of mine has called this A.I. moment “the revenge of the so-so programmer.” As coding per se begins to matter less, maybe softer skills will shine.

The whole (long) article about AI and coding from James Somers is excellent, but this point specifically was highly relatable. I am the literal embodiment of the so-so programmer. 😅
