I'm not quite 40 but starting to feel the effects of age, AI has been a great tool if not for the fact it saves my hands. I don't have it write the logic for me, mostly just stuff like smart autocomplete etc. I battle really severe tendonitis, I've noticed a definite improvement since I started using code complete.
As far as knowledge/experience, I worry about a day where "vibe coding" takes over the world and it's only the greybeards that have any clue WTF is going on. Probably profitable, but also sounds like a hellscape to me.
I would hate to be a junior right now.
- spoonfeeder006 2y agoWell, whats the difference between Vibe Coding in 5 - 10 years vs coding in C 5 - 10 years after compilers came out?
- alternatex 2y agoCompilers produce verifiable results. Are we seriously comparing compilers to LLMs? It's like comparing math to sociology.
- spoonfeeder006 2y agoWell, arguably so do LLMs. You put in the same input prompt, out comes the same code. But yeah, it is kinda different, but I'm just saying that as LLMs become better at understanding how to solve sub-problems, they may become reliable enough that coding via LLMs becomes the new norm, and learning how to effectively prompt will become a new skill for coders
- curiousllama 2y agoI would love to be a junior right now. I would just hate becoming a senior, after having been a junior right now.
