alt Hacker NewsI also can’t wait for the time when few know how to code. Just like how many folks don’t know html from css when the homebrew website went away.
Their might always be llms, but the dependence is an interesting topic.

A time when few know how to code?
I think that was about 10 years ago…
Look no further to be honest; look at older generation programming languages like COBOL and how sought-after good developers for that language are.
But I'm also afraid / certain that LLMs are able to figure out legacy code (as long as enough fits in their context window), so it's tenuous at best.
Also, funny you mentioned HTML / CSS because for a while (...in the 90's / 2000's) it looked like nobody needed to actually learn those because of tools like Dreamweaver / Frontpage.
