LLMs reward developers who can write. Maybe that's one of the reasons so many developers are pushing back against them!

- zeroonetwothree 1y agoThe classic "you're doing it wrong" response to criticism.

- otterley 1y agoI, for one, appreciate that you don't let the haters get you down. Keep up the good work, Simon. I admire your boundless optimism and curiosity--and your willingness to educate us all.
- etothet 1y agoI think this can’t be overstated and I see it my day-to-day working with developers on AI enablement. If you are good a writing, documenting, planning? etc. - basically all the stuff in the SDLC that isn’t writing code, you’ll probably be much more effective at using LLMs for coding.
- maleldil 1y agoI generally agree with you, but this is a poor take. Developers, in general, like to write code. Writing prose is incidental. If the job becomes writing prose instead of code, it's easy to see why there's pushback.
