@beep the cool thing about technology as a job is that you are always getting to learn and make decisions. I don’t know why anyone would want to give those up. It sounds miserable.

Whatever the output gains promised by LLMs, their initial productivity surge is erased over time, and replaced by heavier workloads—and that leads to workers experiencing “cognitive fatigue, burnout, and weakened decision-making.” -

For individuals, I think, depending too much on these things really hurts your ability to internalize and learn. I saw this when I was learning a new language and realized that three years ago I would’ve internalized things I was asking about repeatedly.
At the medium scale, letting it independently write code for you seems absolutely insane based on knowing what the limitations of LLMs are.
