Depends what you’re doing. For the lighter side of coding, you’ve probably nailed it. You’ll never keep up, writing boiler-plate frontend code by hand.

For, like, kernel or scientific coding, it’s probably more subjective. Of course, anything in meatspace is beyond LLMs entirely. AI is waiting on a whole new technology for that one, and so, timelines for AI electricians look barely different they did just before the LLM arrived.

Being a math person, human mathematics as we’ve known it is looking kind of doomed, now. Not because LLMs are super great at it, but because you can rigorously verify if every step works with conventional algorithms. With enough shitty lemmas thrown at the wall, if they’re all correct, you can eventually go somewhere.

In math, we’ve been replaced. Feels bad, man. (I’m not changing any takes now that it’s my field, though!)
