“The reason that tech generally — and coders in particular — see L.L.M.s differently than everyone else is that in the creative disciplines, L.L.M.s take away the most soulful human parts of the work and leave the drudgery to you,” (Anil) Dash says. “And in coding, L.L.M.s take away the drudgery and leave the human, soulful parts to you.”

The best explanation yet why, in my personal experience, most people who do a lot of programming and are well aware of the politics, actually like coding tools.

Instead of wanting to learn and improve as humans, and build better software, we’ve outsourced our mistakes to an unthinking algorithm.
