More anecdata: +1 for “LLMs write all my production code now”. 25+ years in industry, as expert as it’s possible to be in my domain. 100% agree LLMs fail hilariously badly, often, and dangerously. And still, write ~all my code.
No agenda here, not selling anything. Just sitting here towards the later part of my career, no need to prove anything to anyone, stating the view from a grey beard.
Crypto hype was shill from grifters pumping whatever bag holding scam they could, which was precisely what the behavioral economic incentives drove. GenAI dev is something else. I’ve watched many people working with it, your mileage will vary. But in my opinion (and it’s mine, you do you), hand coding is an apocryphal skill. The only part I wonder about is how far up and down the system/design/architecture stack the power-tooling is going to go. My intuition and empirical findings incline towards a direction I think would fuel a flame war. But I’m just grey beard Internet random, and hey look, no evidence just more baseless claims. Nothing to see here.
