Debuggear se va a acabar
Cada vez hay más posts que hablan sobre que la IA va a acabar con el trabajo de los desarrolladores, no voy a ser uno más de esos que dan el tostón con el fin de esta profesión. Me gustaría más centrarme en las pequeñas cosas que sí que vemos que se van quedando olvidadas u obsoletas casi sin darnos cuenta. Antiguamente (hace 2 o 3 años 👴) cuando se producía un bug y no era evidente por qué…
Debuggear, the practice of debugging code by painstakingly analyzing variables, functions, and procedures to identify and fix errors, is being phased out as artificial intelligence takes over the task. This trend has gone unnoticed by many developers, who have become reliant on AI tools like Claude, Codex, and others to pinpoint issues and provide solutions in mere seconds.
As a result, younger developers may never have experienced the satisfaction of manually debugging their own code, potentially missing out on valuable insights into how their applications and systems work.
The shift from manual debugging to AI-assisted code analysis is seen by some as a loss of connection to the underlying code, making developers less aware of how their applications function. While AI can undoubtedly help developers troubleshoot issues more efficiently, it is essential for the next generation of developers to learn how to program with AI not just by providing instructions, but by analyzing, supervising, and even anticipating potential problems before they arise.
The importance of maintaining a close relationship with one's code, as was common practice among older developers, should not be underestimated in an era where AI is increasingly taking over the debugging process.
