You think humans are going to be writing code in 100 years?
- overfeed 5mo agoYeah, of course hunans will still be writing code in a 100 years. I am certain we still won't have flying cars either. Agricultural mechanisation didn't eliminate human labor over the 20th century. A huge fraction of the world's farmers have little or no mechanization today, well over a century after the invention of the revolutionary farm tractor. With apologies to Ada Lovelace, but humanity has been writing code in anger for only like, 80 years? We'll still be at it in a 100 more.
- shepherdjerred 5mo agoI think you have a fair point. It is possible that LLMs won't scale/advance enough and a fundamentally new approach is needed. I'm personally just impressed with the rate of improvement and _hope_ that it will continue, and that inference prices will fall (or on-device LLM become more feasible/powerful). Anyway I appreciate your perspective even though I don't necessarily share it
- lxgr 5mo agoOf course they will, just like humans are still knitting sweaters by hand even after the invention of the power loom.
