" I also don’t want to go back to writing all my code manually "

- a whole generation of you guys are going to regret this decision very seriously 5 years down the line

- mark my words

- just like how studies are being published currently on how meta algorithms are designed to have you hooked and causes brainfart, 5 yrs down the line , studies ll come out showing how LLMs have caused degradation in critical thinking and coding for programmers

- A whole batch of people ll be forced to go back to the basics is how this ll end

 help



I don't think we need to wait 5 years, we can already see it know

- it is going to be so bad that vast majority of these "i dont write code anymore" guys are going to be unable to write even a c++ hello world program without an LLM

- the argument these guys come up with all the time is "I dont need to"

- Big assumption there buddy, big assumption. Lets play both cases shall we.

- Case 1: LLMs infinitely improve and nobody has to code anymore. Yea well, writing a paragraph spec isnt that hard for me bro, I already do it for every project while not using an LLM

- Case 2: LLMS go bust completely for whatever reason. We have a whole generation of mass programmers and 99% of them cant add 2 numbers in c++. Guess what? I am now one of the most sought after programmers in the entire world and part of an absolute minority
