It’s still worth to learn how to code!

I sometimes get the feeling it’s not worth it anymore because LLMs are getting better and faster everyday but you know what..

If you can code you can certainly enter text in a prompt

If you can only enter text in a promo you can’t solve bugs and issues yourself

It’s only a matter of time when actual knowledge is needed, LLMs are trained on our human work

Fuck those who replace humans for AI for profit

@stux LLMs don't (and won't) code anything anyway. What they do is let you reuse code somebody else already wrote without the need for attribution or following pesky licensing terms. When ppl have success with them in workplace environments it's because what they're "coding" is just adjusting some very generic business logic for their particular needs, and they don't care how much it gets wrong. It's way less real originality than an excel spreadsheet.
