Yep, as cynical and demeaning that must sound to them, I am arriving at the same conclusion.

My last project made millions for the bank I was working at within the first 2 years and is now a case study at one of our extremely large vendors who you have definitely heard of. I conceptualised it, designed it, wrote the most important code. My boss said my contribution would last decades. You persist with making statements about people in the discussion, when you know nothing about their context aside from one opinion on one issue. Focus on the argument not the people.

You're the one who claimed that I'm arrogant and pulled that out of thin air. Take your own advice.

I also have no idea what your comment here had to do with LLMs, will you elaborate?

All the programming for the Apollo Program took less then a year and Microsoft Teams is decades in development obviously they are better than NASA programmers.

the programming for the NASA program is very simple; the logistics of the mission, which has nothing to do with programming, is what was complex

You're essentially saying "the programming to do basic arithmetic and physics took only a year" as if that's remotely impressive compared to the complexity of something like Microsoft Teams. Simultaneous editing of a document by itself is more complicated than anything an Apollo program had to do

I want to not like this comment, but I think you are right! There's a reason people like to say your watch has more compute power than the computers it took to put man on the moon.
