    So I&amp;#39;m sure you know about the concept of mansplaining. Can we come up with a new term for the same situation but it&amp;#39;s any human using an LLM? This has to be one of the most infuriating feeling, especially when it&amp;#39;s your own code -_-.

    Seeing all over the places, comments like &amp;quot;we are just meat proxies now&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;I press enter all day&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;work is soulless&amp;quot;.... I don&amp;#39;t think I&amp;#39;ve seen a bigger leopard ate my face kind of moment in a my life. whatever anyways let them have it.

    For a long time I couldn&amp;#39;t pinpoint it to precise and concrete examples. I still can&amp;#39;t but I have an analogy. You see how LLMs are pretty bad at writing, they just throw huge word salad at you, and, yes, you get the idea but looking at each sentence it&amp;#39;s just gibberish. Well guess what? Code they generate is the same. Sure the model are now good enough that if you are lucky most of the time the code will do what is advertised, but I can&amp;#39;t promise it because I ca...

    I saw someone (pretty sure it&amp;#39;s not a bot), saying &amp;quot;anti AI&amp;quot; (always big quotes on this one but I&amp;#39;m just quoting) developers are just salty and gatekeeping. Gatekeeping? What an absurd take. We are one of the most open engineering specialty, there is an over abundance of material to learn by yourself and enter the field, from the lowest levels to the highest one. How is that gatekeeping? Nah what we don&amp;#39;t want is people producing literally millions of c...

    I tried. I really tried, I don&amp;#39;t understand how can anyone take any joy or pride in writing plain English and then acting as a reviewer. It&amp;#39;s pitiful, it&amp;#39;s a miserable experience. (also the constant back and forth and hand holding is just too much hassle)

    I can&amp;#39;t wait for either the bubble to burst or the machine taking over. This inbetween is such a sad pathetic state.
