the difference is that you really don’t have to know assembly in order to know what you’re doing with traditional dev tools today. we are at a different time with AI in which not knowing how to code is a recipe for disaster. I get that AI isn’t the problem. But the complier analogy is bull$hit.

let me add that Linus’ reference to “hang-up” is a little bit hypocritical. many if not most linux users/followers are driven by anti-corporate greed movement. maybe the hang-up against AI is reasonable — or is any hang-up reasonable only when it is against something he also personally despises?

it wasn’t meant to be…ever since i started using github copilot, i was pretty into the whole concept. don’t have a job right now otherwise i’d be experimenting more with different models and agentic workflows…just a lot of them cost money that i can’t spend.

The latest models (and even the ones before) made it absolutely clear that the era of hand written code is mostly over. Everyone claiming it doesn't work either does it wrong or uses bad models. It's a fact that some need a bit longer to find out.
