> Not sure it is worth the effort, because every time a new framework is introduced the results generated by AI will be of low quality until the models get trained on exaples written by humans... What's the point of using AI in that case?
LLMs will not replace us, they just take some of the tedium out of writing code. Yes, they will have to be trained on new frameworks and languages but I don’t see that as a problem. People have to wait for SO questions and blog posts to be written about new frameworks and languages as it stands today.
I’m not sure I agree with your arguments about needing a lot of devs to understand assembly or the like. Or rather I disagree with your prediction of where that leads. We are effectively already there and it hasn’t led to your future. We have an amazing open source ecosystem and that billions of people rely on daily without knowing how every part of it works. Open source has only grown during that time.
I’ve never done the math myself for calculating the distance between 2 points on a globe. I just grab the Haversine formula and keep going. I don’t see that as a problem. Similarly I’ll reach for an open source library to solve a boring problem instead of doing it myself. I quite literally see no difference in that and using an LLM.
