I'll never stop programming.

I'll keep coding as long as I'm able to. It's the ultimate brain teaser. I don't care for sudoku and the like; I'd rather write a sudoku solver (again, in new languages) than solve sudokus manually.

And, obviously, telling a language model to do that for me has no appeal. It's like asking a person who loves sudokus if they'd like to use a sudoku solver instead.

@jani I call it an infinite LEGO set.

@jani I'm with you there. Occasionally I have days where I must attend meetings, look at JAMA and analyze test data. Then I come home and write a little code, just a bit, and feel better. Using an LLM to generate code has all the joy of photocopying an artwork. I am impressed by the ability of LLMs to generate documentation, though.
