Because no coder in 2025 still says LLMs can't code.

  There's definitely still a subculture of people who look for things AI can't do yet, and try to parlay that into evidence AI can't do much at all; just like there's Flat Earthers who're similarly dedicated to a cause.

    In other words, what you are saying is "I believe and your evidence cannot change my mind!" That is the core position of all religions. Faith over evidence.

      The evidence is that I sit back and watch Claude write code all day long every day.

        Not enough. 1. Is it any good, though? Does it work well? 2. Is it better than you could do by hand? 3. Do you care that the vast environmental footprint of the racks of servers that are vastly inefficiently wasting energy to do your job for you – badly – are destroying the planet and meaning that my child has no future? Because I care a lot about that.

        AI is already superior to humans for 99% of coding tasks. It can do a day's worth of coding in seconds, and write code better than even the best humans. Thousands of times better. Thousands of times faster. In the past several weeks I've accomplished what would've taken me several YEARS to do, pre-AI.

        I think you are both fantasising wildly and also generalising falsely from yourself to others. But throughout this thread you offer no evidence, no citations, just your own extremist unsupported opinions, mixed with ad hominem abuse. I am done. If I knew how to block people on HN I would block you.

        ^^ That was perhaps the best "psychological projection" I've seen in decades.
