As someone who cooks most of my own meals (and almost never eats out) I agree. I also know quite a few people who don't know how to cook at all and the thought of cooking stresses them out. So far it seems that we can't all be good/capable at everything. Maybe you write all your own code and cook your own meals, but do you do your own taxes? would you defend yourself in court? would you fix your car yourself? Some people may answer yes to all the above, but most people outsource most things. Many people can't afford to outsource to other people, but can afford to outsource to LLMs. Again it comes down to the job to be done: - does the person want to develop or practice a skill, or do they just want it done? What is their budget, and how important is it to them to minimize certain risks? |

I'm probably biased, but I think when it comes to professional work it should always, 100% of the time be the former. People who "just want it done" are the reason every piece of commercial software is becoming dogshit

Sure, but then stay the fuck out of the area I'm good at.
That's the whole thing. I earn money by building software. I spend money at a restaurant to buy food from people who are good at cooking.
If people who are good at cooking use AI to build their websites, then people like me don't have jobs, don't have money to buy food from them anymore. Specializing is how society functions. People no longer need my specialty thanks to AI? I can't get food anymore?
Kind of a shitty deal for me!
