This LLM-fuelled rant/departure is a thought-provoking expression of frustration from someone who focused on the 90%, not the 10% -- namely someone willing to handcraft software like an artisan.
I think we're in the mass-production era for code and nobody wants a hand-crafted anything anymore. Automated and mass-produced please. "Quantity has a quality all its own"
But even if that's true, the 1000x is going to go to far fewer humans. Maybe you're in the lucky % saved, but a lot of people won't be.
It's interesting to consider. I don't have any takes one way or the other, I'm just observing. I have no idea how all of this works out.
Is the 90% just hand crafting? I don't believe there can be no place for hand crafting things at all, because there is not any other business or human endeavor in history which has been 100% mass produced without any place for artisans in the market.
Even Automobile production has its place in the market for craftsmanship.
Really looking forwards to the 10000% pay raise
Not all people like IKEA furniture.
>Quantity has a quality all its own
You understand the meaning of this Stalin attributed quote?
I wouldn’t want that kind of quality in planes, cars, surgical robots, power plants etc.
I think it’s a good time to introduce fines for severe damages by software bugs.
