Precisely. I don’t really care whether LLM’s can produce code more and better than me. I learn languages, program and study computation to understand better the world we live in. Being a human being means increasingly being technologically augmented. To have any deep understanding of that world requires deep understanding of maths, physics, programming etc. that you can only gather by doing those things and solving problems with your meat brain.

There’s a Twitch-streamer Tsoding who programs on C for fun calling it “recreational coding”. Maybe human programming will be a form of art in the future, virtually useless for big corporations to make money. I don’t care, I love it anyway.

There is tons of evidence against that. Someone armed with just LLM, can have much better uderstanding of problem then "meat brain expert" who studied the subject for decades.

We seen in last decades how "experts" are clueless, and how they predictions work.

So on one side there is monopoly on "deep understanding", but on other no one really cares about quality?

Great but you will no longer be paid to do what you love.
