## AI 摘要

Francois Chollet 认为软件工程的"难度"本质恒定，无论抽象层级如何提升，因为人类认知会适应新工具直至充分利用自身，工具只是可供性而非让工作消失的魔法棒。他引用 Simon Willison 的观点：coding agent 反而让软件工程更难，释放其全部潜力需要非凡的纪律与知识。

## 正文

I think the "difficulty" of software engineering is essentially constant no matter what abstraction level you move to, because human cognition adapts to new tools until it can fully utilize itself.

Tools are only affordances, not a magic wand that makes work disappear.

Great software engineering was immensely challenging before. It is still immensely challenging now, despite very different workflows.
