the fact that llm's can be used to write code shows that programming is just a bullshit job anyone can do and you're not gifted or special or anything and you wasted your life

@ug depends on the programming but yes for a lot of it it was always thus.
my entire life people, experts, said: "this should be a lot easier than it is now". they made it a lot easier. and now everyone is mad.

@binkle @ug I'm in this camp, mostly. Code is a hurdle in between me and getting the computer to do something I want done. I'm not a craftsman or an artisan or anything like that, I'm a hacker, in the old fashioned sense of the word. There's no pride or creativity, just work that needs doing. If the computer can write the code that it can then turn around and run to get the job done, that has a lot of value to me.
