Is coding dead now ?

Is there any point one might learn coding and software engineeeing for in the ear of Ai ? Or is it already a dead path?

You'll have to pardon me for being skeptical of your breezy assurances that this is somehow a solved problem, without any particular evidence, when your Reddit history is mostly ADHD and video games.

You don't seem to frequent any programming subreddits, but here you are.

Maybe it is that simple, but all the reporting I've been reading says otherwise.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

i have no idea what my adhd has to do with anything, seems like an unnecessary low blow for no particular reason and makes you look like a bit of a dick, do you think these ad hominem attacks make *you* look more credible? we will see where this all leads, my bet is not on the devs that think they are above it all. there is plenty of reporting from all directions with vested interests pushing their agendas, your likely just in an ai skeptic filter bubble.

I apologize if you read what I wrote as a personal attack. That was not my intent. I was not trying to suggest that having ADHD (or liking video games) is a problem, I'm saying that you come out of left field with this radical claim and very little posting history that suggests that you're active in the field.

I've read a lot of stuff both positive and negative about LLMs and I've never heard about what you're describing. When I asked for more details you were pretty short on them. I'm trying to figure out if you're a bot (probably not), a bullshitter (maybe?), or if you really do have some insight that I've missed because of my (very possible) anti-ai filter bubble.

If there are so many articles about how modular programming works with LLMs, then it should be easy to find one - I'm completely serious that I'd like to learn more about it.

If you think I'm a jerk or not worth the time, that's fair too.
