Serious question, I've noticed more shops around here skipping manual programming for new parts.
They just load a CAD file and let the software handle it, which feels like a big shift. How common is this where you work?

Yeah totally, I see this everywhere now, not just in shops. It's like we're cutting out the middle steps in everything. You see it with self-checkout, or how you fill out an online form once and it populates everywhere. The human touch just gets removed piece by piece, and people talk about it like it's always progress. Makes you wonder what skills we're quietly losing.

Heard on a podcast that manual programming is becoming a rare skill.

Seriously, it's crazy how true that is. I remember when you had to know every line of code you wrote. Now, with all these smart IDEs and code snippets, people just drag and drop. Like, half the new devs I meet can't debug without a tool holding their hand. We're losing the deep understanding of how things actually work. It's all becoming magic black boxes, and that scares me a bit.
