Hope all your programs are written in machine code. Wouldn’t want to be proud of compiler output.

When LLMs are remotely comparable to compilers, your analogy might hold water. But in the world of today, it holds none.

I mean yeah? Wouldn't you be more proud of your ability to write a program in machine code than you would in assembly? Or more proud of assembly than of C? Or more proud of C than of Python?

Each stage takes greater effort, effort which creates skill. Those hard-earned skills are accomplishments to be proud of.
