> Executives like the idea of LLMs because it means they can lay you off; they're not going to care about your opinion on it one way or another.

Probably, but when the time comes for layoffs the ones that will be the first to go are those that are hiding under a rock, claiming that there is no value to those LLM’s even as they’re being replaced.



I can see it go the other way; as LLM's improve, the need for prompters will decrease.

The need for real coding skills however, won't.


One's "real coding skills" don't get judged that much during a performance examination.


That time will come once enough people have LLM'ed their software to hell and back and nothing works anymore.


Just like the day the price of housing and bitcoin will crash. It’ll be here any day now I’m sure!


Guaranteed!
