> Atrophy. I've already noticed that I am slowly starting to atrophy my ability to write code manually... > Largely due to all the little mostly syntactic details involved in programming, you can review code just fine even if you struggle to write it. Until you struggle to review it as well. Simple exercise to prove it - ask LLM to write a function in familiar programming language, but in the area you didn't invest learning and coding yourself. Try reviewing some code involving embedding/SIMD/FPGA without learning it first. | ||||||||||||||||||||

People would struggle to review code in a completely unfamiliar domain or part of the stack even before LLMs. | ||||||||||||||||||||
