I sometimes identify as "ex-programmer" these days, just because whatever coding i could do is now irrelevant due to LLMs, but this isn't entirely honest. Programming was never my job. My job was "convincing people to transfer money to my account under various pretexts, most of which involved me writing some code", and as such, the thing is pretty much alive.
- oytis 1y agoHave you got good results with LLMs for low-level development? For embedded I've found them mostly useless.
- anovikov 1y agoI have reworked a lot of code i built myself with AVX2 and Neon, to become much better, more maintainable and faster too, with LLMs.
- kakacik 1y agoDon't know your area but llms are not taking many software dev jobs around here. Its like saying clueless juniors who sometimes produce good snippets of code and sometimes struggle to distinguish left from right are taking jobs of some seniors... not happening en masse anytime soon. Some other types of jobs sure.
- slaterbug 1y agoYou don't program at all now? It's all generated? I only ask because I find myself on the tools most of the time still. The difference in how different people experience this tech is astounding sometimes.
