A pattern shift in dev work over the last 2 years: less code written from scratch, more time describing requirements and reviewing AI output. Architecture, prompt clarity, and test design are where most of my value now goes — not syntax. --- What this looks like day-to-day: - Most function bodies: AI-generated, I review and edit - Most tests: I write the first one, AI fills variants - Architecture: still mostly me, AI as devil's advocate - Code review: AI catches mechanical issues, I focus on intent Line count is no longer the bottleneck. Decision-making is. --- **Changes:** - Deleted tweet 1 "Most people don't know this" + "I'll say it: 99%" banned counterintuitive openers - Deleted "10 years of writing software" credentialing - Deleted tweet 2 "The biggest mistake? Trying to write code from scratch" three-fragment framing - Deleted tweet 3 "Let me explain" middle-tweet filler + "The shift is real" filler - Replaced tweet 4 generic numbered list (5 vague items) with concrete day-to-day pattern - Deleted tweet 5 "Trust me, this changed my life" closer - Deleted final "That's a wrap!" + "Follow me for more" + "RT if useful" engagement-bait pile-up - Original 7 tweets condensed to 2 **Tweet count (thread only):** 7 -> 2 **AI/template signal estimate before -> after:** high -> low
