I think the comment is fair. The poster came across as inexperienced with programming when in reality they have a decade plus experience.
I trust experience people can make better use of these tools because ideally they should have a foundation of first principles to work off of whereas inexperienced people jumping straight into LLMs may not be fully understanding what is happening or what they are given.
I don’t have a decade of coding experience. I do have almost two decades of internet experience, especially marketing. I had an aborted attempt at learning to code back in 2013-14, but I never stuck around, mostly because I was freelancing as a content marketer (GrowthPub.com)
My first real coding experience was when I joined a bootcamp (Code.in bootcamp) in 2022. Only reason I could stick around this time was because I had a chunk of change after selling my agency and had nothing else to do
