rootnodeSome interesting takes in this article.
VioletBackpack@rootnode found myself thinking it reminds me a lot about what I find distasteful about frontend web development, and then they dive in to that. Read my mind.
I dunno, we all stand on the shoulders of a giant in some way, but this does feel like the least-reliable giant we’ve stood on in a while
What I fear the most is that over-reliance and usage of LLMs will end up with next generations of developers knowing less about the underlying details. Say kernel and driver development, where one has to be extremely careful.
It's gonna be a tough ride in a few years when the full impact hits and we end up with a serious lack of senior developers.
@rootnode yeah, the assembler programmers said the same about us and I’m sure the electricians said that about the first programmers … but I think the same as you, there’s something different about LLMs. Is not just an abstraction, there’s definitely a lot less “having to think about the problem”
