It's kind of crazy that people use these multi-billion parameter machine learning models to do search/replace of words in text files, rather than the search/replace in their code editor. I wonder what the efficiency difference is, must be 1000x or even 10000x difference?

Don't get me wrong, I use LLMs too, but mostly for things I wouldn't be able to do myself (like isolated math-heavy functions I can't bother to understand the internals of), not for trivial things like changing "test" to "step" across five files.

I love that the commit ends with

> Codebase is now enterprise-ready with professional language throughout

Like "enterprise-ready" is about error messages and using "Examples" instead of "Demo".

This is the future of the field: amateur night that never ends. And this is why I'm looking for a new career at my advanced age.

If you have any tips, feel free to enlighten me. Even though I'm "only" in my 30s I feel the future is uncertain - the original author of this post made one other post that was also clearly vibe-coded, but not many comments seem to point it out. It'll only get worse from here, depending how you look at it of course; hackers will have a WAY easier time as time goes on.

Still figuring it out, but if I do, I promise I'll circle back here and let you know. So far the best idea I have is to stay in software and ideally my current job for the moment, but phone it in, while I retrain as something else at night.

I use LLMs, too, and that did give me a chuckle.
