You created a throwaway to “not troll” and post the same three tired tropes every tokenmaxxing vibe coder trots out

  They are right though. The entire history of human civilisation involves a thing called “specialisation”. The primary reason we were able to prosper as humans is because we all dont have to know how to procure our food. Did humanity lose the skills for making food as people specialised? No. same thing with memory management - as Java became popular, should the concern have been towards losing skills on memory management? That’s stupid. LLMs don’t allow you (yet) to not understand the code completely. But it allows you to understand less and less directionality. We are getting there. I don’t read all code anymore, just high level design. This kind of performative concern over skill atrophy is annoying.

    It's telling that the proponents of vibe coding are the same people who think memory management is no longer a concern with Java
