Because I’m seeing more and more each day people once considered experts now on the same level as an untrained person who knows how to type. And I’m really hoping LLMs reach a tipping point because otherwise, you’re just adding another nauseating element to the rat race.

I’m no stranger to the “adapt or get left behind” comments, and it’s very funny when people tell me this but can no longer tell me how a for loop works or what constitutes an outer join.

lol hate to say it but this shithole needs to humbled by an act of war that brings down the power grid, capitalist realism is quickly turning into economic and technological realism (if it hasn’t already).

    … it’s very funny when people tell me this but can no longer tell me how a for loop works or what constitutes an outer join.

    the funnier part is that llm’s are best at doing these sorts of things; but we continue to insist on people doing this during interviews for some reason.

        i used to think so too; but i stopped about 15 years go or so, partially because i realized that not everyone works in the same way; but mostly because english teachers/professors/instructors/etc. generally don’t believe that most can write a proper sentence also.

        i learned that hard way that, looking for other people who work like i do, is a folly and will leave you looking for a very long time unless you’re ivy league.

          Yeah well there’s tik toks of gen zers whose brains are not cooked echoing the same sentiment. This shit is turning people into idiots, truly hope to see a massive power grid failure that shows how it was a mistake
