Comment on Ask HN: Is there a point in me getting a CS degree anymore?

Comments

The LLM-craze will pass. It's not remotely interesting to me either. I am more interested in human centric automation. Techne is the Greek word for hand. Technology is literally an extension of our hands. Dystopian Silicone Valley schlock appears to me as a symbol of decadence and the waning power of an empire in the throes of giving Caesar absolute power. Look at these clownish CEOS, like Musk, Altman...

Is there software to build? Yes. Do LLMs replace software engineers? No. Will they ever? No. They are pattern extraction machines, nothing more.

Just curious, but do you think LLMs have the ability to significantly increase the productivity of a person who generates code to produce business results (note, I was very careful to not say “software engineer”)?
