Wait so you guys choose to sit and code something for a month instead of for a day? I don't have that kinda time and I need to make money fast. What took me a month now takes me a day. AI has reduced my workload by 90%
Fuck manual typing and muscle memory and hundreds of hours infront of a screen. Only 0.43% of the population can write code. I am safe. I will never lose the ability and my services will always be needed.
At the rate that ppl are now developing programs you WILL be left in the dark ages typing everything manually. I have a wife to please and adventures that await.
Which doesn't include you.
You are a highly, highly specialized, but also simultaneously low skilled worker who can only work with a very specific set of services, which are all paygated by vendors, who will immediately jack the fuck up out of their pricing as soon as they are able.
You are delusional.
Even in some hyper dystopia where all coding is outsourced to an AI, all you are is a prompt generator.
Do you think an AI that can write inefficient code... cannot write prompts?
You are a loon.
You're just mad that AI and automation is coming for your job. Get with the times or get left behind. People who are using it will code 1000 times faster than you can. It's about speed now. Productivity will always be more important, my clients do not care about how beautiful my code looks all they care about is the functionality and that button goes click.
I oversee all the code it gives me and I still build my own UI because I enjoy that part.
Also you can run LLMs on your own machine now OFFLINE! So Idk why you are crying I haven't paid a cent.
You sound like those christian anti vaxxers who think all science is poison.
