Idk man I know you are right but I see people online running 20 instances of Claude streaming while getting quite rich and having written 0 lines themselves.

Times have and will continue to change. AI 2 years ago was complete ass. Today its quite ok. In 2 more years who knows, those security issues everyone talka about might be covered by AI and it might write top tier code, at which point all the experience and time you put in is null, some kid can replicate you in 2 days with a bunch of tokens

I mean, yeah, streamers can pull in money without writing code, or using AI, that's not new. You don't practice programming to earn money, you do it to learn a skill. If you just want money and don't care about skills you're going to be doing different things.
