I think young programmers who are less heavily invested in their skills and who haven't built a life that's highly dependent on using them are generally more interested in figuring out what programming with LLMs means. But so are much older programmers who have seen it all, including the obsoletion of many of their skills, and who are not so dependent on continuing to use them as they could retire anyway. It's more the middle (programmer) age senior programmers who are less likely to see any use. I've seen the same pattern with artists' interest in generative AI. But it's complicated because it IS also dependent on what you're doing. So it's hard to know if something is being dismissed correctly due to domain/expertise, or prematurely due to not putting the work in and figuring out what these tools mean.
