I always wanted to learn more about scripting. But today I am not as passionate as before because LLMs write working scripts most of the time. I am wondering if it is true for most programming techniques and quirks. Are we going to write code to solve low level problems?

The other day there was a blog post about learning SIMD. I think in future "programmers" will just nag about the speed of the program and the coding assistant will eventually introduce SIMD to the source code.

It is a little sad but we have to go with the current if we want to survive.

I can see crafting line by line when I’m retired or for a personal project. It’s eventually going to be like the people now who still operate restored manual linotype machines. “Look here I have the last functioning one in the midwest. See how the plates work…”

That legitimately sounds like the dream. Maybe this is just the universe's way of giving us our train set?

I still think that learning the shell environment makes a lot of sense these days. But mainly for interactive use. It's amazing the scripts your LLM can make you with, say, fd and fzf.
