So they don't understand the syntax being generated for them?
- handfuloflight 1y agoThey don't need to, any more than syntax writers need to understand byte code. They need to understand what the code does.
- goatlover 1y agoI have a hard time believing any of these natural language only prompters are being hired as developers if they don't understand the syntax. Part of the issue is LLMs are indeterministic and hallucinate. They also don't recognize every bug they generate.

In practice, we are seeing and will continue to see developer adjacent positions submitting PRs. Not on a whim but after having understood the codebase or parts of it using the AI to translate syntax to English.
