>(Last night I ended up writing that kind of code because GPT-4 didn't quite get it right for me, but 90% of my code like that has been LLM-created in the past 6 months and I look forward to that creeping closer to 100%)
I have bad news for your long term employability if that's the case.
I find that my code is 25% LLM-able on a good day with minor editing.
On a bad day it is 10% LLM-able with me having to edit every line to get them to fit together.

- llm_trw 3y agoFair enough. I have to admit I've written a gpt4 api shell utility which transforms text based on descriptions like "split string on '-' after a '~' but only if it's in a the second csv column and select the third". I feel dirty using it - send your data to the cloud and use a ~peta flop- but it's faster than trying to remember how to do it in awk for under 1000 lines.
- kragen 3y agoi really don't think simon motherfucking willison needs to worry about his long-term employability, unless either he suffers a disabling injury, or llms get better than humans at everything, or somehow people stop wanting software
