The abstract seems to suggest that in the long run you’ll out perform those prompt engineers.

what should we do then? just abandon LLM use entirely or use it in moderation? i find it useful to ask trivial questions and sort of as a replacement for wikipedia. also what should we do to the people who are developing this ‘rat poison’ and feeding it to young people’s brains?

How does it suggest that?

in the long run won’t it just become superior to what it is now and outperform us? the future doesn’t look bright tbh for comp sci, only good paths i see is if you’re studying AI/ML or Security

Spoiler: no, it will not

so avoid LLMs entirely when programming and also studying AI/ML isnt a good idea?

what should we do then?
i also personally wouldn’t use AI at all if I didn’t have to compete with all these prompt engineers and their brainless speedy deployments
Gotta argue that your more methodical and rigorous deployment strategy is more cost efficient than guys cranking out big ridden releases.

I’m not really worried about competing with the vibe coders. At least on my team, those guys tend to ship more bugs, which causes the fire alarm to go off later.
I’d rather build a reputation of being a little slower, but more stable and higher quality. I want people to think, “Ah, nice. Paequ2 just merged his code. We’re saved.” instead of, “Shit. Paequ2 just merged. Please nothing break…”
Also, those guys don’t really seem to be closing tickets faster than me. Typing words is just one small part of being a programmer.

you should stop using it and use wikipedia
trashgarbage78@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks ago
so i shouldnt be using LLMs at all? what is your use case?

Thing is, that “trivial question asking” is part of what causes this phenomenon
