I’m afraid the boosters hear nothing.

The commenter you’re replying to, in their heart of hearts, truly believes in 5 years that an LLM will be writing the majority of the code for a project like say Postgres or Linux.

Worth bearing in mind the boosters said this 5 years ago, and will say this in 5 years time.



I would guess that the vast majority are not writing code for a project like Postgres or Linux.

What purpose does this statement serve?

Everyone working in programming is writing code for a project more like Postgres or Linux than they are a project like making a wood cabinet or a life drawing.
