I need you to understand that software development with LLMs isnt about writing a prompt to spit out your entire app.
I would not trust a single instruction that hasn't been reasoned over by a real person in my codebase. YMMV

> OK, are we worried that all the robots will somehow disappear? No, you should be worried that you (or devs who come later, who never had to 'change the oil'/ write tests themselves) won't know if the robot has done it right or not, because if you can't do the work, you can't validate the work. And the robot isn't an employee, it's just a tool you the employee use, so when you are asked whether the test was coded co…
> See the issue now? No. I use a calculator, and I don't have to second-guess it. It just works. If it didn't work reliably, I would use it. > I thought your unnecessary skill atrophied and was forgotten ? Again, either I didn't need to do it because the AI did it well, and I forgot the skill, or it never did it well, I always did it myself, and I never forgot it. I don't understand why you're assuming that the AI wi…
If those pro players go 10 years without ever pitching a ball, they'll still know all the rote technical details on an academic/ theoretical level, but their actual pitching ability will have diminished, because skills are perishable. Coding is a skill.
Observing someone else code is not practice for coding yourself, and will not maintain (nevermind improve on) your coding skills.

This is so over the top that you might as well name and shame here to lend credibility to your story. What school in what "area" are you talking about?
Yeah and dox myself. No thank you. It's not "over the top". It's the reality of the education system in Eastern Europe.
Hello. Just wanted to share my 2¢ on this post that is entirely missing the point of the skepticism I believe. Take it with a grain of salt. Thank you.
An issue I see with junior devs is their unwillingness to dig in and stay in the weeds of some hard shit to figure out. To me, that's where the learning happens and current LLMs aren't going to figure it out for you. If you keep at it, you're going to build those synaptic connections in your brain, which makes figuring things out easier over time.

I initially downvoted you because your story was obviously untrue. But... I was unthinkingly assuming you were American. I undid the downvote, because I have no idea what schools in your country are like.
It's not all that bad though. Sometimes the teachers would bend the rules in the students' favor, which allows to treat them like human beings, rather than "computer says you fail".

Why wouldn't there be a real person reasoning about it? Am I missing something?

> The elephant in the room here is that, like so many issues, AI has become political for some people. In this case your "AI skeptic friends" are your "defund the police" and "abolish ICE" friends. For 95% of people AI is just a new technology to be loved and feared. I really don’t think there is this “elephant” at all. If you reduce critique, skepticism and fear people might have to political slogans of mainly fring…
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.

> instead of "let's see if they can drive from point A to point B first". We are now at the point where they can do that, somewhat reliably, No, we really aren’t. Let me know when any of those systems can get me from Souix falls South Dakota to Thunder Bay Ontario without multiple disengagements and we can talk. Based on what I’ve seen we’re still about 10 years away best case scenario and more likely 20+ assuming so…
When you put it like that, it makes me wonder if we can just stick to using the self-driving cars in the Bay Area and not go to these bad and dangerous places.
It's hard for me to take all of this seriously because I sat and listened to how Google Search was going to ruin everyone's mind and without the skill of manual research we'd all be turned into imbeciles. Back then we didn't have this particular modern meme of "extremely dangerous" for something like a syntactically inaccurate file so I suppose no one said it was "extremely dangerous" for people to copy-paste code fr…
Have you recently watched a civilian perform a basic task? Their first approach is to use Google and pick the top result - ad or otherwise. I think websearch /has/ ruined everyone's minds, and it is being exacerbated on a daily basis by AI.
