GitHub on developer growth and promotion in the AI era
What happened
On October 2, GitHub argued that AI is rewriting the developer career path: writing code still matters, but defining problems, evaluating AI output, weighing trade-offs and making technical decisions matter more. It offers three pieces of advice: learn to direct AI agents rather than just use them; don't trust the first answer AI gives; and spend the time AI saves on bigger problems. As an example of reviewing AI output, it describes GitHub Copilot's built-in Rubber Duck agent, which uses a second model to review plans, code and tests.

GitHub 发文指出，AI 正在改写开发者的职业晋升路径，写代码仍必要，但定义问题、评估 AI 输出、权衡取舍和做技术决策的能力愈发关键。文章给出三条建议：学会指挥 AI 智能体而非仅使用它、不要轻信 AI 的第一个答案（如 GitHub Copilot 内置 Rubber Duck agent 会用第二个模型审查计划、代码和测试）、用 AI 省下的时间解决更大的问题。
