@phire Yeah that's complete horseshit.

My employer would be catastrophically disappointed in me if I would let outside code leak into our proprietary code base.

And on a personal level, I love programming for the whole writing code part. People who hate coding so much they need a machine doing it for them might not be in the right career as programmers.

@tsturm @phire There's also an argument that because LLMs are regurgitating high-probability token streams from large datasets, you are getting at best average code for simple, common tasks. Which means if you find copilot-like tools useful, you are possibly a below average programmer doing scut work.

@overeducatedredneck @phire And the code might actually be better than whatever I've cooked up and re-used over the years, but I still prefer re-solving some JSON parsing problem for the 10th time, because maybe this time - finally! - I understand where I went wrong the last nine times. 😅
