I have been programming for almost 30 years. I am extremely delighted that with one line of clear prompting I can generate 10+ lines of completely accurate code. It is very good at replicating patterns. IMO, this is the greatest advance in IDEs since intellisense. I estimate I am about 2x faster at programming than before. I would never want to go back to a world without it. Why not use it? Because all of your code has to go over the internet to a large corp who promises not to use your software against you? That risk will be solved over time with open-source, local LLMs.

I'm less worried about how large corps will use my info in the long run vs how myself should develop and learn over time. 'Productivity vs learning and in my own way' was the way I was looking at it. I suppose they aren't mutually exclusive though!

AI isn’t going away - the most productive workers in the future will be the ones who are most effective at using it
