  • Old enough to remember how people made these same arguments about writing in anything but assembly, using garbage collection, and so on. Technology moves on, and every time there’s a new way to do things people who invested time into doing things the old way end up being upset. You’re just doing moral panic here.

    If this is an example of your level of reading comprehension, then i guess it’s no surprise that you find LLMs work well for you. Your answer addresses none of the points i made, and just tries to do the Jedi-mind-trick-handwave, which unfortunately doesn’t work in real life.


  • While this sounds like a good idea, leaving individual decisions to people, longterm it is quite dumb.

    • if you let an LLM solve your software dev problems, you learn nothing. You don’t get better at handling this problem, you don’t get faster, you don’t get experience in spotting the same problem and having a solution ready.

    • you don’t train junior devs this way, and in 20 years there will be (or would be without the bubble popping) a massive need for skilled software developers. (and other specialists in other fields. Better pray that medical doctors handle their profession differently…)

    • you really enjoy tweaking a prompt, dealing with “lying” LLMs and the occasional deleted harddrive? Is this really what you want to do as a job?

    • (bonus point) Would your company be ok with someone paying a remote worker to do his tasks for a fraction of the salary, and then do nothing? I doubt that. so, apparently it does matter how the work gets done.











  • This is a pet peeve of mine: Scientific terms (“ritual” in this case) that also are commonly used in everyday language, but have a slightly-to-massively different meaning between the two worlds.

    This “ritual” vs. “ritual” is a harmless example (that only annoy archeologists, which is fair, because they are overusing this even if you understand it as scientific term) but if you watch (early) Jordan fucking Peterson talks, he does this extensively; using Psychology-specific scientific terms that are misunderstood by the public, and he and his crowd are both too stupd to notice. (nowadays, he is just spewing insane bullshit, so, no more confusion there)
