DISCUSSION:

When will we stop viewing an LLM as a bad thing? In your career, the next big thing that could replace you is always around the corner.

When I started my computer science major, ChatGPT was released three months later. I have been using LLMs since the beginning of my career. I have never used Stack Overflow. Despite this, I have taught myself complex concepts, learned three programming languages, delivered projects used by others, switched from Microslop to NixOS, and accomplished many other...
