I sometimes wonder if I'm being too stubborn on LLMs. I can acknowledge their utility for certain tasks, but I also look at their many negative externalities. I'm just not on-board with any of that. Also, I derive the most enjoyment from slowly figuring things out for myself and honing my own skills. Maybe an LLM would help me solve problems faster, but I'm much more interested in figuring out how to solve problems better. Of course, maybe it's just a pride thing at this point.
@dabeaz I think with all do respect it's something related to pride and ego. We as a developers finally know that almost all we do is repetitive tasks that machines can do it under a second. We still can learn from them if we ask LLMs right questions. Learning is a pleasure that needs patient and consistency. Humans cannot enjoy something that earned fast.
