@nolan@toot.cafe I think that, increasingly, I can't bring myself to care about individuals distinguishing ourselves through skill and effort, when there's a backlog of problems out there waiting to be solved, and LLMs are making it possible for more people to at least attempt solutions to those problems without waiting for us "proper" developers who have been acting as gatekeepers for too long. Just let the problems be solved, regardless of who does it.
