I find it fulfilling to write and read code. It’s also a powerful technology. That doesn’t just change just because there’s another technology more powerful in certain ways. These are some level 0 reasons to want to read code, but there are lots.

- GPerson 2mo agoYou don’t buy the argument the open source movement has been putting out for decades about code transparency increasing freedom?
- a2ff6eeb0 2mo agoThe code is so cheap today that you can just ask an LLM to generate it for you, for all but the largest projects. I don't get why you'd care about humans being involved, no.
- websap 2mo agoThe code is cheap, but the mistakes in production are very expensive! You want to be leading the agent, not lagging the produced code.
