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

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.

in reply to stux⚡️ • • •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

We desperately nee mored individuals investigating bugs.
The LLM output for bug reporting is overwhelming, but it's starting to produce legitimate 0day vulns at a scary pace.
I feel like the road is about to get very bumpy.
