Coding is deciding

Read Original

This article explores the idea that coding is not just writing instructions, but the process of encoding a vast series of nested decisions. It breaks these down into categories like functional, infrastructure, architecture, logical, and syntax-level choices. The author then discusses how the evolution of tools and abstractions, including modern LLM coding assistants, has shifted which decisions developers must actively make versus those that are handled by standardized implementations.
