Rolling the ladder up behind us - Xe Iaso on the LLM bubble
Who will take over for us if we don't train the next generation to replace us? A critique of craft, AI, and the legacy of human expertise.

I appreciate the sentiment but I also hate the whole "AI is a power loom for coding".
The power loom for coding is called "git clone".
What "AI" (LLM) tools provide is just English as a programming language with plagiarized sum total of all open source as the standard library. English is a shit programming language. LLMs are shit at compiling it. Open source is awesome. Plagiarized open source is "meh" - you can not apply upstream patches.
