How many times can we have the same discussion.

That's the neat thing, with LLMs we can fully automate this discussion and have it at thousands of tokens per second and millions of tokens per dollar.

:P

Yeah, I believe I’ve seen this topic posted on HN many times now.

Code has always been cheap, even before AI/LLMs. It’s your ability to understand your client’s problem and come up with a good solution that’s what gets you paid.

It's existential crisis Tuesday
I'm stealing this for an office sign.
Until the people foolish enough to think that you can replace people with an LLM learn their lesson.
Never let possibility get in the way of a value-signaling business decision, I always say.

Until the people wishing it to be true are thoroughly sated.

The reality is that this is the end of programming as a large scale well paying white collar profession as we knew it.

Today a co-worker told me he thought this would mean programmers would get more money because we have been making so much, so quickly, with much fewer bug reports, it's saving the company lots of money on man hours.
Until we've all finally let go of the past.
