On: Ask HN: SWEs how do you future-proof your career in light of LLMs?

[pdimitar]

Absolutely. I agree with your take. It's just that I prefer to work in places where products are iterated on and not made once, tweaked twice, and then thrown out. There LLMs are for the moment not very interesting because you have to correct like 50% of the code they generate, ultimately wasting more time and brain energy than writing the thing yourself in the first place.

And wasting more money too, of highly paid devs.

A wake-up call for the bean counters.

[pdimitar → fuzztester]

I wish. But many of them only get as far as "this tool will replace your expensive programmer". Thinking stops there for them.

Lets replace them.
