"Many have compared the advancements in LLMs for software development to the improvements in abstraction that came with better programming languages."
Where can I see examples of this?
- krupan 10mo agoTons of people throw this argument out on social media. "You keep using assembly while I go up an abstraction layer by using AI." I can only assume people saying that don't even know what assembly is. Actually, as I typed that out I remembered seeing one comment where someone said "hexcode" instead of assembly (lol)
