    Not using the nonsense machine doesn’t mean we have to abandon the whole rest of the toolbox.

    Jumping on the new shiny thing and relying on it over all the other tried and tested tools is the core re-occuring mistake in development.

      What? This fantastical scenario has never happened. Name one other new development tool that has lead to the sort of issues you seem to think will happen. Debuggers? Auto-complete? Syntax highlighting? Better build tooling?

        Hey man, maybe re-read my comment. It’s not long.

        I never said a single tool causes issues. I said abandoning existing tools to only use the new thing is a problem.

        See people who want to only use the newest frameworks, to the point of re-building projects when they come out.

        See people who fixate on a single design pattern and insist on using it in every application.

          And I said - when the hell has that ever happened? Ever?

          I’m talking about development tools not platforms and libraries. An LLM is not replacing a framework. It’s not replacing… Anything really.
