There is always someone better than you at almost everything you do, this is statistical reality.
If all you care about is the artifact and not the path, there is no reason to do anything.
Use the tool to better yourself, your understanding and push the limits of what is possible. If a Lisp in assembly with GC is now hello world, change what a hard project is.
I see this attitude a lot, and I think it is rooted in a sort of self-centered elitism. Anyone can do it, so why do it? Instead you could have the AI teach you how to implement it yourself with a deep understanding that no human, even if you paid them, would put up with.
But sure, get depressed. But why tho?

The undercurrent is that nobody will be able to make a career out of it anymore. Sure, programming is intellectually stimulating, but it's questionable whether it'll lead to highly compensated jobs now. I'm a hobbyist who loves computers so I'm still going to do it. I have been entertaining thoughts of doing it professionally though. The market isn't encouraging at all.
- genxy 4mo agoIt changes what you can do and how you do it, but it still needs someone with skills to drive it. And it does hit a capability plateau, you cannot just say, "make me a compiler for xyz". Your prompt has to be at least 8 sentences. A skilled programmer and a skilled user of AI can do amazing things. But you need to be both. Lay persons cranking out zombie react sites shouldn't be scaring anyone. It is good to have a half functioning prototype, it allows everyone to have something to bounce ideas off of.
