Yes, you can revive it into worthless slop. Learning next to nothing for yourself and achieving a hollow sense of satisfaction at best.
Maybe even shamelessly post it as a Show HN along with the other 99% of worthless slop submissions there.
- rjh29 6mo agoI want app X. I know how to code it but it'll take a whole weekend/vacation days. I would learn nothing. Now I can use AI to make it. What exactly am I losing here?

- CharlesW 6mo agoAs you perch comfortably in your Throne of Purity, it's worth remembering that the average software developer sits on top of 10+ layers of abstraction (not counting hardware).
- wiseowise 6mo agoLLMs are not a level of abstraction, can we let the meme die already? For the same reason why literature summaries are not an abstraction over reading.
- rjh29 6mo agoThe generated code is an abstraction, as you do not need to concern yourself with how it was made, only the surface API. Saying "can we let the meme die already" is not an argument.
- wiseowise 6mo agoIt might be an abstraction, but definitely not the same level of frameworks, OS, machine code, etc. LLM is not a runtime. It might be something akin to non deterministic compiler where it converts your MD to code.
