No hate over here. I don't even disagree with you. I just found it funny that you're so vehemently arguing that vibe coding won't rot your brain, but you tried to express it with a nonsensical "if then" statement.
Edit: To clarify, I do think there's a concerted effort to devalue software engineers. CEOs are pretending that junior engineers can be replaced by LLMs and that senior engineers can get more done in less time with LLMs. I'm deeply skeptical of these claims, and I think they're lying through their teeth in order to drive their stock prices up in the short term, and software engineer salaries down in the medium/long term. So, I don't think LLMs are as competent as they claim. I also don't think they'll rot your brain if you choose to "vibe code".
I don't agree. I have never said anything like that. I think it is a poor learning tool. None of my comment is indicative of being even close to what strawman argument you are hating on
This implies to me that you disagree with the post, which says corporations are deliberately deskilling people with LLMs.
I agree, and am skeptical that LLMs will make people lose their skills.
So, I don't think corporations are de-skilling people.
My point of clarification is that I think they are de-valuing their labor.
What's the strawman argument?
I do not hate you! Why do you keep repeating that?
No, it does not. Concern trolling is when you pretend to be concerned for someone doing something you dislike. They don't care about the vibe coders. They are concern trolling. I pointed out that it is kind of vile that the opposite of ai abuse is ai haters, that vehemently oppose exactly every mention without thinking for themselves. It always becomes more gross than the practice itself and always rimmed with concern trolling and just general hate. Sorry for implying you hate me
