This will make me more valuable in the future when everyone has lost the ability to do anything on their own.
Does anyone care about code quality anymore?
AI maxxers know they're doing harm to themselves by overusing llms. The way they react so defensively when you point it out to them lets you know its real. Everyone wants to pretending like they have superpowers and are evolving into "100x" engineers, but in reality they're devolving.
The most passionate people with the best reputation will suceed, they will continue to be in the most demand and will be the most valuable, like a swiss watchmaker.
Sorry LLMs arent replacing anyone who's got strong skills and cultivates them. You're so wrong here. These more passionate builders will however replace the lazy people who offload all their skill and brain capability to llms, and they'll use AI to help them.
Being lazy and letting llms do everything for you is not a good strategy.
Thats a really bad website too btw, design and functionality. Maybe use your brain before you lose it.
For a 100x engineer with 40 yrs exp that you claim to have, you make some real basic high schooler projects lol.

And why are the people calling people Luddite some of the least intelligent people I meet, and seem to be complete sheep fighting some psychological war on behalf of their billionaire lords who own the machinery.
Not wanting to hand off all your labor to a machine does not make you a luddite, nor should it be acceptable to call people that because you dont know how to have a real conversation.
You can make a choice not to become a button pusher and still do things by hand. You dont have to fry your brain. You're falling for a massive trap to strip you of your value.
also when someone says you just have to prompt it a certain way it reminds me of people who think they can get better results out of a slot machine by pressing buttons in a certain order
The providers of these models also design the UX similarly to slot machines (run it x amount of times for better results, multiplying your spend) this isnt a coincidence and they're playing into the gambler mentality, and probably hire UX designers that specialize in this.
When comes to frontend work, the handmade UX designed by a professional will always outperform whats made by an llm.
Sure its 10x slower, but you'll get 20x more usere because it will obvious it was made with care (if done well, and you should learn to do it well). Its the same reason handmade clothing, watches and other luxery items speak to us more, sometimes its marketing but often times its the craft.
There's a reason why all the companies selling the idea that web dev is dead, like lovable, still hire designers with 50k retainers to do their landing pages.
Not sure why you think social norms are positive. Negative amoral behaviors can become norms. I'd argue the west has tons of amoral behavior that is normalized.
What we should be talking about how Jev is actually closed source Layla.
