That's great, but you and your family will go hungry as a result. If not this year, next year.

Your stance isn't new, if it's any comfort. I heard (and probably said) exactly the same thing when C compilers started getting good enough to eliminate the need for most assembly coding.

I will take my chances. Software is part of my identity and I won't abandon it that quickly.

Understanding assembly coding makes you a vastly better C coder.

So it is your opinion that in the future llms will take extremely vague specs and turn them into fully functional software that actually works the way the prompter wanted it to?

Does the prompter sit there with the llm all day answering the 1000s of questions necessary to make what he wanted, and the prompter then spent days testing it to make sure what he initially thought he wanted is actually what he wanted?

Then for every additional feature and integration the prompter will do this again?

Are we going to make a new job title for that? Should we call that job a programmer?

Tools are tools. Better tools let us do more faster, but they are still tools.
