      “In favor” is a strong phrase. “Understanding the inevitable” might be more apt.

      What barely works right now will get better. What was slop will surpass the best humans can code soon. I am old enough to remember when “Made in Taiwan” and “Made in Japan” were racist pejoratives for bad quality.

      It’s great to love your horse and your ferrier business, but when you’re watching Model T’s roll off the assembly line, even with initial build quality issues, you can see the world is changing.

        I don’t think it’s a apt description, this so the first time human knowledge has in anyway been “automated”.

        It’s either “doesn’t work” or “does work”.

        And once it truly does work it’ll be a different store. These sloperators thing that they have AGI like if they use the correct magic words a real enterprise app will come out. But it’s not true, they are riddles with technical debt, drag, security vulnerabilities and bugs. No matter how many times you sift through them with the LLM.

        Once AGI has arrived its a different story. Once coding is “solved” via a AI it’s pretty much the singularity. software development requires critical thinking skills that once acquired will allow them to pretty much do any knowledge job on the planet and actually self improve.

        LLMs aren’t it, and when something real comes along I’ll be ok board. LLMs have their use cases but anything outside of automating a call center or a voice assistant is pretty much a anti-pattern.

        These aren’t model Ts these are horse drawn wagons with 500 horses so they say they can have as much horse power as a real car does.

      I firmly believe a fair chunk of the ones who are supporting it on here are either bots or have fully drank the vibe-aid, whereas the people who don’t support it are ( in some communities ) being pushed away because the sloperators/bots are genuinely trying to psy-op us all into giving up our mental faculties to the clankers.

      This is my paranoid conspiracy of the moment.
