  Not really. If you code in Python or Node, you are already relying on a bunch of computer algorithms to optimize your code.

  That outlook depends what you think programmers do... Is it the act of writing code or is it creating things? I often wonder this when the threads discussing raw typing speed come up, or the "extra typing" involved in optional curly braces. Even today, without LLMs, only 20% or less of my work is writing actual code. Requirements/research, designing, optimizing, testing, etc make up the lion's share. So you take out that 20%, I'll be more productive, but my work doesn't change.

    My favorite part of my job is solving the problems around implementing an idea. Ideas are easy; problem solving is not easy, and as such I find the challenge fun. So yeah, bleak.

  From a jobs perspective. Awesome and amazing otherwise.

  It's fine. That's how C compilers looked in 1972 too. You can't get out of having to think about things.
