"despite many claims, programming is absolutely full of uncreative, grueling labor that is exactly solved by these tools. i believe using them is the humane thing to do." it's funny how so much of programming history is just people trying to find different ways of avoiding that grueling labor

personally, i think a lot of the issues people have with llms come down to the people at top having 0 fucking idea what problems people want to solve in a field and marketing being incredibly tone death as well as the whole moral issues but ive seen enough people dismiss moral issues for convenience

copilot was popular within programming not because llms are more accepted because of OSS or w/e its because it was billed as a way to reduce tedium and boilerplate modern programming llms are too focused on being full replacements instead of tools which is why there's a bigger split (in my pov)

personally, i hate llms for a variety of reasons. even if we isolated the moral problems, i think modern llm tools make programming actively unenjoyable my work makes me use it, and as a result im slowly looking at alternatives (omg full time indie) i can see why someone would use llms though
