Yeah I think LLMs are really amazing and I'm open minded about how they can contribute to the craft of creating software. I've played around with these for generating code and it's very cool how much can be done.
BUT. Honestly I just see a lot of code review and refactoring of shitty AI-generated code in my future. And I think people who lean on this heavily are going to struggle to progress... Just like when I get the whiff of code copied verbatim from SO, it's going to put a sour taste in my mouth when I get a series of reviews with a bunch of poorly factored AI generated code.
But maybe it's more likely that old fogeys like me with our backwards beliefs are not long for this world. But I dunno, I haven't yet been replaced by the hordes of actual humans crowdsourcing this on SO, so color me a bit skeptical!
