alt Hacker NewsCoding is basically an edge case for LLMs too.
Pretty much every person in the first (and second) world is using AI now, and only small fraction of those people are writing software. This is also reflected in OAI's report from a few months ago that found programming to only be 4% of tokens.

This sounds like you live in a huge echo chamber. :-(

That may be so, but I rather suspect the breakdown would be very different if you only count paid tokens. Coding is one of the few things where you can actually get enough benefit out of AI right now to justify high-end subscriptions (or high pay-per-token bills).
