did you see value in doing this, before LLMs? if so, why?
- gokuljs 1mo agoYes. Before LLMs, I saw a lot of value in it. Building things was how I learned, found gaps in what I knew, and proved to myself that I could take something from an idea to a working system. I worked day and night for long periods to improve that skill. I put in extra hours because getting better was hard, and there was joy and meaning in finally being able to do things that I could not do before. Now it feels different. A lot of that work can be done with a few prompts and a short feedback loop, and someone who never spent those years learning can often reach a similar result. That is the part I am struggling with. It feels like years of hard-earned advantage disappeared very quickly.
