I’m not anti-AI; I use it every day. But I also think all this hand-wringing is overblown and unbalanced. LLMs, because of what they are, will never replace a thoughtful engineer. If you’re writing code for a living at the level of an LLM then your job was probably already expendable before LLMs showed up.
except you know, you had a job. and coming out of college could get one… if you were graduating right now in compsci you’ll find a wasteland with no end in sight…
