I can't ignore that fact. The post was suffocating to read. LLMs have an obnoxious style.

This is still a trillion times better than the Antisocial media of today. At least they'll interact with their friends. Online competitive games at least require you to work your brain.

I'm pretty damn sure the parent, by saying "writing code" meant the physical act of pushing down buttons to produce text, not the problem solving process that preceeds writing said code.

Except that the most glaring difference is that compilers are deterministic, while LLMs aren't. Given the same input, compilers will always return the same output, while for LLMs. They won't, given the same input, they will return
