Possibly. But... Here's the thing. I've dealt with "business rules" engines before at a job. I used a few different ones. The idea is always to make coding simpler so non technical people can do it. Unless you couldn't tell from context, I'm a software engineer lol. I was the one writing and troubleshooting those tools. And it was harder than if it was just in a "normal" language like Java or whatever.

I have a soft spot for this area and there's a non zero chance this comment makes me obsess over them again for a bit lol. But the point I'm making is that "normal" coding was always better and more useful.

It's not a perfect comparison because LLMs output "real" code and not code that is "Scratch-like", but I just don't see it happening.

I could see using LLMs exclusively over search engines (as a first place to look that is) in 2 years. But we'll see.

Let's assume this is true, just for discussion's sake. Who's going to be writing the prompts to get the code then? Surely someone who can understand the requirements, make sure the code functions, and then test it afterwards. That's a developer.

Okay but you literally said they're still writing the code though lmao.

If you think I've misread something you can just say that instead of saying insulting things like "your reading comprehension is poor."

  1. Anything can change while major version is zero
  2. Technically, semver only tracks public API changes

Yes, it's sweat. This is not a euphemism.

Thought this was an actual picture of someone sleighing down a sand dune and OP was making a joke that it looks like snow.

Ahhhh, okay. I was expecting it to be under a user but it is attached to the post. That makes targeted harassment marginally more difficult but regardless, I definitely can see that it's trivial to see the upvotes (favorites) and downvotes (reduces).

Whether or not this is "good" or "bad" I'm still undecided on, but you've officially convinced me that it is trivial to see exactly who voted (and how) on a post (or comment). You do not need to "set up an instance" like many people say.

Chick fil a doesn't do burgers. Unless it's the big T burger at Truet's...
