I hope we can put to rest the argument that LLMs are only marginally useful in coding - which are often among the top comments on many threads. I suppose these arguments arise from (a) having used only GH copilot which is the worst tool, or (b) not having spent enough time with the tool/llm, or (c) apprehension. I've given up responding to these.
Our trade has changed forever, and there's no going back. When companies claim that AI will replace developers, it isn't entirely bluster. Jobs are going to be lost unless there's somehow a demand for more applications.
I mean, I don't know when do you retire in your countries. Here, it's at 65 years old (ridiculous)
I am 30 and even before AI, I NEVER thought for a moment I would get to keep coding until I am f*king 65, lol
I definitely relate to this comment.

I think people are looking for those unicorn 10x devs that are like Good Will Hunting for code, but forget that there are those devs that might not get things right away but never stop until they figure things out. You'll probably find a lot more of those than the unicorns
