The future is open models running on your device. No subsidized corporate tooling required. There will never be a reckoning for the people who are letting their coding skills atrophy.

I don't like it either, but that's the way it is.

I don't wish anyone any reckoning. But I can see and feel less competition for my niche knowledge and I welcome it.

What niche knowledge? It seems to me that applying general knowledge to new niches has never been easier.

		Yeah I know it's not obvious. And very lucrative and very freeing, having this sort of knowledge and leveraging it. Especially after clients have suffered the new found arrogance of non-experts riding on LLM output. Look, let me be perfectly clear: if you're getting what you want out of your job and your personal projects, hobbies, whatever you do with your time, awesome! If you feel like the trade-offs of including LLMs in your workflows are good for you, great! Just don't delude yourself into thinking this new technology, this new tool, is free of trade-offs. Net positive for you? Ok if you think so go for it. I haven't found the inclusion of LLMs in my activities beyond replacing the broken state of traditional search worth it. That's it. I'm not against it, I just don't find myself getting net positive value from deferring to code generated by these tools, is all I am saying. Nothing more, nothing less than that simple statement. Not for me.
