Lucie / minutethe argument "but you're also no longer using a fountain pen to write" against hand-written code is silly to me. i think close to 100% of people would rather read a short story written in fountain pen by octavia e. butler or william gibson than something that a rando ai-prompted? they could even take their time, why would it need to be rushed?
Andrea (Drea) Tamar Pinski@mntmn the thing is a pen is still a pen.
Yes a ball point pen is easier than a fountain pen (well unless the fountain pen has its own reservoir which some do).
But a pen is still the same kind of tool.
It is like gcc vs tcc vs llvm/clang vs icc vs suncc. They are all compilers but some easier to use and some are stuck in without a reservoir.
Also a writing utensils is similar but in a different language like clang vs flang or c vs Ada.
But llms are not the same as a compiler. Ao it is not even comparable.
