While I do see LLMs helping programmers a lot, I'm not super impressed by seeing it write what looks like a lot of boilerplate. If things become so common that it can be replicated by an LLM, it seems like we need to be abstracting it away.
- ChatGTP 3y agoThe worst programmers I know are the busiest. We’re already in this world. Seriously develop and app with Django and tell me how much actually “code” you write ? I’ve been a developer for almost 2 decades and the coding part of the job is about 5% of my time :) The rest is stopping people from building stupid shit they don’t need to build and trying to make sense of “the business” With generative AI, you can have all the stupid code you want in 1/1000th of the time :) :) For me personally, we invented computers so we can spend time at the beach…ever seen the early Apple computer ads ? We shouldn’t be writing code constantly if we’re doing our jobs properly. We should be enjoying our lives which technology should be working and affording us the time to do so.
- zeroCalories 3y agoYeah I agree. Webdev in particular could use a lot more work. I think serverless does a good job, but platform lock-in prevents it from becoming the standard. I think databases are a great example of abstraction done right. I rarely see database code(sql, configs) that seems copy-pasted.
