    I don’t think such trend would be so big. And anyone who has used any LLM for programming learns very quickly that those are very far from replacing anyone

      For real. You can tell how good a programmer someone is, by how good they think an LLM is at programming.

        I use it to bounce ideas around with or get it to direct me in the right direction if I am stumped for further research, but it will be a cold day in Hell before I have it write more than the most gruntiest of grunt boilerplate code. It just can’t do it to a useful standard without a lot of oversight.

          Same, it’s largely doing pretty much as the article implies, replacing StackOverflow for when I need the correct runes to do something specific.
