We live in an objective reality. LLM's help a damn lot in speed of development. As someone who has been coding since 5th grade for over 20 years who is known to be a LIGHTNING FAST implementor by many people I have been scaled ridiculously with LLM's. Genie is out of the bag, you have to go with the flow, adapt or else.... I am just as pissed as anybody else at the lack of certainty in the future.... Thought I had my career made. So it's not that I don't emphatize with engineers in my shoes.

Good lord I wish I could have as many certainties as well, one point at a time: * There is no objective reality, there isn't one in physics, it's just a non argument * "LLM's help a damn lot in speed of development" That may be your experience and my whole point was arguing that speed may not matter * "Genie is out of the bag, you have to go with the flow, adapt or else" I choose else if this the apex of the argument

  I'm genuinely baffled by the assertion that there isn't objective reality.

    If you go down in physics you might discover that the reality seems to be composed a lot more by probabilities. An objective reality built on probabilities does not seem so objective afterall. Here is a fun think to try: demonstrate that you and me are seeing the same color in the same way? You might find some papers trying to prove it but you will se they are all based on subjective answers of people. So while at macro level the reality seems hard and objective at the micro level it is not.

      It's an objective reality. Even at quantum level the known laws of nature hold. Even if there is uncertainty, nature is predictable in following the laws of physics. And ofc at macro level we live in a very objective reality. This is the basis of science.
