By “good” I mean code that is written professionally and concisely (and obviously works as intended). Apart from personal interest and understanding what the machine spits out, is there any legit reason anyone should learn advanced coding techniques? Specifically in an engineering perspective?
If not, learning how to write code seems a tad trivial now.
Writing code is probably one of the few things LLMs actually excell at. Few people want to program something nobody has ever done before. Most people are just reimplimenting the same things over and over with small modifications for their use case. If imports of generic code someone else wrote make up 90% of your project, what’s the difference in getting an LLM to write 90% of your code?
