I have learned more - not just about my daily driver languages, but about other languages I wouldn't have even cracked the seal on, as well as layers of hardware and maker skills - in the past two years than I did in the 30 years leading up to them.
I truly don't understand how anyone creative wouldn't find their productivity soar using these tools. If computers are bicycles for the mind, LLMs are powered exoskeletons with neural-controlled turret cannons.
To extend the metaphor, which provides better exercise for your body? A bicycle or a powered exoskeleton with turret cannons?
I don't bike for exercise. I bike to get where I'm going with the least amount of friction. Different tools for different jobs.
Also: I think we can agree that Ripley was getting a good workout.
