If programmers like being able to pay their rent/mortgage, they'll quickly learn not to feel sad about literally the best thing to happen to software development in decades. Because otherwise they'll be replaced by someone who's delighted with it (they're not hard to find).

- qsera 7mo ago>who's delighted with it A programmer who is not delighted by programming cannot be very good at it. So the same people who are "delighted" by using an LLM is the exact same people who should not be using it. It would be like putting a person who don't know how to drive in the driving seat of a semi-autonomous driving vehicle.
- hackable_sand 7mo agoCan you explain how an LLM is going to grill up and package food for my customers? I'm able to pay rent just fine without one...
- lpcvoid 7mo agoNah, my theory is that people hyping slop programming are the sort of people who sucked at programming beforehand, and LLMs hide that pretty well.

- bluefirebrand 7mo agoAnd when they're all out of work and desperate, what then? History suggests it will turn very bloody Is that really the future you're delighted about? Or are you just so shortsighted that you don't realize it is an inevitable outcome of mass unemployment is that the masses will eventually snap and it will get seriously ugly?
