if it's able to do the interesting/engaging part faster than me, i don't see why i should not outsource to it (The same argument as why use LLM-assisted programming at all, you don't want to miss the productivity boost)
- tjr 8mo agoWhat then is your interest in avoiding skill atrophy? It sounds like you realize that outsourcing your programming work to AI will likely result in skill atrophy, but you are so happy with the results that you are okay with this. (And so are a lot of people! Not saying it's a bad decision.) What change are you after?
- py4 8mo agoi'm trying to see what i can do to stay relevant
- ipaddr 8mo agoAren't you making yourself irrelevant and the first group to be cropped out of the market or do you see others who don't use llms as much as dinos who will be filtered away first because your method offers more productivity? I personally rarely have been paid for productivity. How fast I can put out features rarely earns me extra money. What people want is someone who understands what they want and finds a way to deliver when we agreed to and spots pitfalls along the way.
- direwolf20 8mo agoIf LLMs are the best programmers then programming is obsolete so why do you want programming skills?
