Daniel JalkutWe're at a turning point, where everybody 20 years old or so, and older, will have a fundamental advantage against every younger programmer when it comes to "coding with AI". Younger programmers will have no natural incentives to learn non-vibe coding techniques. Things are gonna get weird.
Mike Sax@danielpunkass Will it matter? I have no idea how to make a punch card, and it hasn’t limited my work.
Thomas Sturm@mikesax @danielpunkass It would matter, if every OS would still be using punch cards under the hood.
Young developers that now create some app with an LLM will be out at sea as soon as a deeper integration with the OS is necessary. Also, they will have learned none of the underlying skills that would allow them to build a career in this field.
What are they going to do in the future - forever just ask an LLM to please do the coding for them?
