/r/horsecarriage bans all discussion of cars

/r/assembly bans all discussion of 4GL

LLM programming isn't going away by not talking about it. It's time to move on, and eventually considering farming.

Makes sense. If I'm looking to read discussions about stables selection, feed prices, etc, why would discussions of spark plugs be relevant?

> /r/assembly bans all discussion of 4GL

Also makes sense; people wanting to discuss register allocation, bit twiddling, etc probably aren't interested in insurance claims taxonomies or similar.

> LLM programming isn't going away by not talking about it.

Right, but is the context still /r/programming? After all, there are tons of subreddits you can go to to discuss LLM programming. Why do you need to shove it into a space created for human thoughts on programming?

> It's time to move on, and eventually considering farming.

Okay, understood, but my question still stands - why conflate programming with viber-coding?

/r/horsecarriages banning discussion of cars makes sense though. It's not a horse carriage. If you want to discuss cars, go to /r/cars.

It's not about wishing it goes away, it's that people don't want to see JavaScript/Java/Swift blog articles when they visit r/assembly.

OK I see your point, the problem is more being off-topic rather than the LLM programming itself. And that's correct, we are strict people, after all.
