It’s still worth to learn how to code!

I sometimes get the feeling it’s not worth it anymore because LLMs are getting better and faster everyday but you know what..

If you can code you can certainly enter text in a prompt

If you can only enter text in a promo you can’t solve bugs and issues yourself

It’s only a matter of time when actual knowledge is needed, LLMs are trained on our human work

Fuck those who replace humans for AI for profit

I must admit, I was curious to see, whether an advanced LLM can do what I am trying to do; esp. with similar strict and explicit pointers and instructions.

It turns out, the models cannot even accept the length of the request. Breaking down the task into smaller bits makes it run into rabbit holes and repeated undoings of previous decisions. It is annoying and probably to an experienced, well-versed developer an atrocity to observe.

I can't definitely tell, for me, however, it is not worth it. :blobcatpirate: :ablobcatcoffee:

I suck at front end dev and design but I always have ideas for websites that never end up looking good. In the last few months I've been able to crank out projects that look way better than I would have done myself... But I don't think AI would have been able to do on it's own either. It was inspiring enough to even buy two domains. It's a controversial topic I guess but I've been glad to be able to dabble with it

I mean, that's part of the tragedy of this whole thing: At this point, they're not even replacing people with Ai for profit, they're just replacing them for revenue.

Soon there will be a renewed need for developers to clean up vibe-coded "software" because LLMs tend not to take maintainability or security into account

In my experience with LLMs you still need to know how to code even if you’re just using it to write the code for you.

If you don’t know how to solve a problem in code you can’t effectively prompt an LLM to write that code for you unless it’s something very simple.

At that point though you’ve done most of the work so why not just write the code? 🤣

I don't think this has actually happened yet (in the software industry). All of the events that have happened recently are actually a continuation of the post-covid layoffs. It's just that companies now use AI as an attempt to look good, rather than saying they're laying off people because they have budget problems

I think it will be incredibly important moving forward to have as many hands working on coding.

I'm programmer once I didn't know how to go forward so I asked AI which lead me in to totally wrong direction... Than I knew what's going on and I went to rewrite the entire code with totally different direction. Just for fun I posted the code. And you are right.. That's exactly...
