Apparently programmer specialities such as "web dev" are about to become obsolete because an experienced dev can quickly become an expert by using LLMs. Tools that are trained almost entirely on code built using principles that I and an increasing number of _web_ devs think are a dysfunctional dead end, even a potential existential threat to the industry itself
But, y'know, maybe I'm wrong and a python dev copying and pasting bloated React code out of ChatGPT is the future of web dev 🤷🏻♂️
