Imagine the smartest developers you know, operating at the boundaries of their knowledge - for years, decades. Without access to new tools and sources of knowledge, they eventually plateau - maybe move into management. Pick up a hobby or two. Then one day, they are gifted with a new tool - to allow them to push themselves further, to ask the questions no single person has all the answers to. To seek solutions to the problems they've been exposed to their entire lives. They’ve seen enough verbose, redundant, and awful code in their time - all written by other humans - to know the difference between elegant, functional, and trash. They remain unfazed and they proceed unleashed.

There we go GPT. Real talk about causality

In 1996, mathematician Daniel Bernstein sued the US government after being told his encryption code was a 'munition' subject to export controls. With the EFF's support, he successfully argued that code is a form of expression protected under the First Amendment. This landmark case challenged the fundamental notion of what constitutes speech in the digital age. Code is speech. Think about how ahead of their time Bernstein and the EFF were 30 years ago. Today's LLMs are proving that code and natural language are not just similar, but fundamentally indistinguishable. What was once a progressive legal argument is now a technological fact.

Sr vibe coder clues… after 2 iterations says. “Hey Claude, that seems like an epic shit ton of code, can you simplify?”

At the very least decentralization will keep us all employed because at some point you have to put all this shit back together again. Both Plumbers and Data Plumbers are recession proof.

Folks who excel at using LLMs aren't bothered by hallucinations. Instead of frustration, they adapt and redirect. Or maybe they're just nerds who love to argue.
