Gergely Orosz on Engineering

All those non-devs parroting how GenAI is the end of software development don't do actual development. And esp not wit these tools. I am pretty confident Meta will have no "AI engineer that will start contributing increasing amounts of code" beyond being a companion like today

Why it worked

Contradicts something the audience already believes, which stops the scroll.
Written from experience rather than as advice, which is harder to argue with.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.
Opens on a negative, which reads as a warning and is harder to ignore than a claim.
Quotes someone directly, which makes the moment concrete rather than summarised.

The mechanics

Hook: Plain observation
Structure: Hook → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: personal
Mechanisms: Pattern interrupt
Written for: Engineers and technical teams
