Comment on Why LLMs can't really build software

  Why though? I think hating and maybe even disrespecting programming and wanting your job to be as much redundant and replaced as possible is actually the best mindset for a programmer. Maybe in the past it was a nice mindset to become a teamlead or a project manager, but nowadays with AI it’s a mindset for programmers.

    Before LLMs people were often saying this about people smarter than the rest of the group. “Yeah he was too smart and overengineered solutions that no one could understand after he left,”.

    This part.

      The fact that I dislike it that it turned out that software engineering is not a good place for self-expression or for demonstrating your power level or the beauty and depth of your intricate thought patterns through advanced constructs and structures you come up with, doesn’t mean that I disagree that this is true.

        The problem is that you don’t realize that writing code that is difficult to maintain is in fact not a sign of intelligence, or “power level”.

        If your code is as comprehensible as that run-on sentence, I can understand why coworkers would ask you to please write simpler code.
