@jonathan859 @matt I don't fear it as in, oh no, don't take it away from me, but as in, so many people already depend on it now and are happy with it, and they'll get stripped from their favourite toy and feel the lack of ability and knowledge to start something new or even maintain the stuff they already created. Sounds like something you don't want to experience in general. And I believe it'll happen at a pretty big scale.

@jonathan859 @matt Honestly, I kinda fear the day the big companies decide to cut the subscription-based models entirely. They already know they're financially absolutely not worth it, API brings them so much more money. I believe they'll either cut down on the usage plans more and more or just remove subscription-based models entirely, at which point individuals like us will be back at ground zero anyway.

@matt I've dev'd full-time and am teaching programming to newbies every day, as well as do research in that field. I know my way around the battlefield. However I don't have enough time in my life to put all of my ideas down manually. LLMs allow me to do that whilst doing other things in parallel. I do review manually (which takes way less time than actually writing it), and steer it back on track if it gets off-rails. I will never ask it to write code in languages I don't know myself.
