Companies are refusing to hire or even laying off plumbers because hucksters backed by massive unicorn-chasing investment money told them they can build plumbing faster and cheaper out of cardboard.

A few years from now, there’s going to be a hell of a market for people who can replace cardboard toilets with real ones.

And also for people who can replace carpets. And walls and floors.

This is a post about LLM-generated code.

@inthehands My worry is that after they rip out all the porcelain thrones and put cardboard ones in place, and the cardboard ones fall apart after a few days, they won't reinstall porcelain ones. They'll just make everyone subscribe to a toilet replacement service that replaces your shitty toilet with a new shitty toilet every week forever.
