This is really what it’s about.

As someone that started with Machine Code, I'm grateful for compiled -even interpreted- languages. I can’t imagine doing the kind of work that I do, nowadays, in Machine Code.

I’m finding it quite interesting, using LLM-assisted development. I still need to keep an eye on things (for example, the LLM tends to suggest crazy complex solutions, like writing an entire control from scratch, when a simple subclass, and five lines of code, will work much better), but it’s actually been a great boon.

I find that I learn a lot, using an LLM, and I love to learn.

But we become watchers instead of makers.

There is a difference between cooking and putting a ready meal into the microwave.

Both satisfy your hunger but only one can give some kind of pride.
