Now... Now... Wait until they have to debug it
Or fix a simple syntax error. I've seen that a few times from juniors who thought they were too smart to learn, and it's painful to watch.
Yup, seeing that too. They're all proud of the work they didn't do, but the second there's a syntax error they panic.
LLMs excel at fixing typos. That's honestly the most useful aspect of them.
Which is also not a real use-case. Like, just check your work, you don't need a tool for that.
Hell I don't even use spell-check because it's just distracting, and it's a fundamentally wrong way to think about language.
You don't want to. Fine. Other people do. Fine.
People are being miseducated about what they can achieve by charlatans looking to make a quick buck before the hype bubble implodes, and the tech is helping cook the planet.

They will resort to vibe debugging
"I'm a full stack Viber. Vibes all the way down"
