Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

You can hardly get online these days without hearing some AI booster talk about how AI coding is going to replace human programmers.

Mostly said by tech bros and startups.

That should really tell you everything you need to know.

I use gpt to give me snippets of code (not in my ide, I use neovim btw), check my stuff for typos/logical errors, suggest solutions to some problems, debugging, and honestly I kinda love it. I was learning programming on my own in 2010s, and this is so much better than crawling over wikis/stackoverflow. At least for me, now, when I already have an intuition for what is a good code.

Anyone who says llm will replace programmers in 1-2 years is either stupid or a grifter.

Damn, this is powerful.

If AI code was great, and empowered non-programmers, then open source projects should have already committed hundreds of thousands of updates. We should have new software releases daily.

i use it to write simple boilerplate for myself, and it works most of the time. does it count?

If LangChain was written via VibeCoding then that would explain a lot.
