LLMs have already improved sufficiently that people are worried their programming skills are decaying, debugging skills included (based on the article I referenced). I'm curious to…

I agree that you still need programming skills (today, at least). Yet people are using those programming skills less and less, as you can clearly see in the article [1] I reference…

My post did not take the position that understanding problems isn't important. Using LLMs can even help you understand the problem better. And it can bring you towards the solution…

People who consciously do IF tend to eat healthier, while people who skip breakfast purely because they're lazy tend to eat less healthy food. I don't believe that eating time affe…
