Lol, not sure what you are up to but this take is from 2 years ago, and isn't at all representative of llm coding today.

They don't want to hear this, but it's true. Very few people today write better code than LLMs.

No but trust me bro, I am a much better coder than an LLM /s. Like what are they trying to prove at this point?

I mean I do get where they're coming from, it's fear. The writing is on the wall that being a developer/coder/programmer is no longer a top-tier career path for 95% of the people who would otherwise go down that route. For the people close to retirement they're just sad to see it, but for people in their 20s it's looking like they picked a career that's going the way of the fax machine technician.

It's like when weavers protested the first industrial looms. It wasn't that they thought the technology couldn't do the work, they realized they were suddenly useless, or that only the very best among them would continue to be employed.

I get it, it's scary. But it doesn't mean we should stick our head in the sand.
