Is anyone still writing assembly in the age of LLMs? Asking seriously because most assembly is just doing one very simple thing very fast and because it's so simple conceptually, an LLM can easily code it without errors.
I write all my code by hand for one simple reason: LLMs suck at programming, and I am both better and faster than they are. When that changes (not bloody likely), I'll consider changing my approach. Until then, I'm going to be over here kicking ass the way I've been doing for years.
What do you think about Linus Torvalds' recent opinion about LLMs?
There are other questions around AI (like what the
economy of it will actually look like in the end),
but "is it useful" is no longer one of those
questions. Anybody who doubts that clearly hasn't
actually used it.
And no, AI isn't perfect. But Christ, anybody who
points to the problems at AI had better be looking
in the mirror and pointing at themselves at the
same time.
