Does winning by cheating take care of everything?
Cheating worked for Tom Brady.
I met a guy a couple of weeks ago: he's a professional software PM, but doesn't himself know how to program.
That's normal for PMs, minimal to no coding skills. That is not their job.

That's the idea. Get this system fully optimized and serialized, we can develop all the farm land into thousands of cute little off-grid gated exurbs. Everything needed to protect ourselves from the hoi polloi when we outlaw their fossil fuel.
Maybe the real question is why bother having children, to bring them into the world where they are really unwanted by the entire society?
It is worth pointing out that the backend models powering Copilot remain closed source. So no, you won't be able to self host the whole experience or train your own Copilot.
No, but unless the API is super opaque, it should make it simpler to implement your own back end. should you be so inclined.
In each of these cases, you do have to know what you're doing, and you have to be able to know when it's right. But the things it does, do save me time and research effort.
Likewise.
They are just tools. Each user has to learn how to use them for their own use cases. They are neither panaceas nor useless.
In short, "AI coding" is not as mystical as it seems. Doing little that prior sets of tools were not doing. It's just more convenient, perhaps automating the use of numerous such existing tools. It still requires a skeptical review of the code and likely the addition of defensive code.
Right. It's a tool.
It's not the singularity, and it's also not "useless" like some energetic posters here want it to be. LLMs are just tools, which devs need to figure out how best to use for their use cases.
