Yeah, I'm very much a "production" person, so that's my lens.

For me, I started off with Machine Code, but these days, I have no idea what's going on, below the compiler. I know enough to be dangerous, looking at a stack dump, but that's about it. My days of hex keypads are long gone.

I still get stuff done, that I could only dream of, back then. LLMs are really just another step on the evolutionary ladder.

I'm old enough to remember when calculators were banned in the classroom, for just about exactly the same reasons that people are complaining about LLMs.

Anyway, the die is cast. We'll have to see how things turn out.
