I can't shake the belief that the more one finds LLMs useful, the less valuable their work already is. Something that has no guarantee,not even a reassurance of being correct should not be trusted with any meaningful work
I need you to understand that software development with LLMs isnt about writing a prompt to spit out your entire app.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Fear of AI is universal but skepticism is not. It's a (primarily) far left meme that AI is just hype and should be compared to scams like cryptocurrencies.
I linked you research showing the opposite of what you claim. I'd recommend not looking at topics through this culture war lens, it tends to corrupts people's ability to be objective and thoughtful.

Yeah. And that's OK. Because nobody will need to shoe horses any more! If I forget how to write tests, what's the problem? It means that I never need to write tests any more. If I do need to write te…
The whole point is that these LLMs build up a dependence because your critical thinking skills need not apply when a data center can average together passable answer for you.

Had to drop in here to call you out for completely missing the point of the article. The whole point is that these LLMs build up a dependence because your critical thinking skills need not apply when a data center can average together passable answer for you.
