Playing the victim doesn't help advance the conversation.

This is assuming we're at some sort of job ceiling and no new jobs will ever be created.

Well yea, of course you can say that on an open ended timeline.

Well, some apparently still think code generation won't go away, like those Assembly devs when Fortran was new.

Even if we consider a similar timeline, it means we have about 50 years to enjoy programming as we know it.

I'll bite. Explain, please.

I hope you continue this work for the foreseeable future, because this would be such a boon if it all pans out well.

Thank you, yes there's a lot of positive that can come out of this technology, and it needs to be developed with the help of everyone in order to get there

If things go south, the world must rely on Will Smith to save us from the machines. He's the only one with the appropriate training.

I dont know, i think metal is slap resistant

I'll personally equip our team with EMP weapons when that happens

Considering the entire purpose of the original post is asking people what they're doing, why do you have such a problem with the top voted argument? If the top voted argument was in favour of this tech taking jobs, would you feel better?

> I would guesstimate that less than 1 out of 10,000 developers are solving truly novel problems with any regularity. And those folks tend to work at places like Google Brain.

Looks like the virtue signalling is done on both sides of the AI fence.

Not sure how you equate that statement with virtue signaling.

This is just a natural consequence of the ever growing repository of solved problems.

For example, consider that sorting of lists is agreed upon as a solved problem. Sure you could re-discover quick sort on your own, but that's not novel.

I'm sure that startup is a great indication of things to come. Bound for long term growth.

It’s solid, efficient, bug free code. What else matters?

Yap yap yap. Keep living in denial mate.

I'm not living in denial, I think LLMs are extremely useful and have huge potential. But people that are all "omg my startup did this and we reduced our devs by 150% so it must be the end-all tech!" are just as insufferable as the "nope the tech is bad and won't do anything at all" crowd.

And before you mention, the hyperbole is for effect, not as an exact representation.

This just shows that time spent is not the same as wisdom.

Even ChatGPT 3.5 had "wisdom", so you're definitely wrong.
