Why should we wait for LLMs to become good enough to spoon feed the end result when we can do it ourselves?
These are beautiful, collaborative efforts and require members to constantly improve their learning, communication, patience, and technical skills. These are skills that transfer to other parts of life, same as other hobbies like sports and martial arts. It's an incredible manifestation of the hacker spirit. Do we as a community not enjoy tinkering anymore?
This isn't a consumable product. We aren't selling anything here trying to make a quick buck. There's no "rush to market" pressure to finish these projects.
The perspective I see creeping up in many engineering areas of "wait for AI to automate everything in life" seems to value the end product more than the means.
It's a valid question. The short answer to the question is counterproductive in my opinion.
You can tell this basically about anything software related these days. Yet when human is in the loop, the insight is still needed.
