Tons of people throw this argument out on social media. "You keep using assembly while I go up an abstraction layer by using AI."
I can only assume people saying that don't even know what assembly is. Actually, as I typed that out I remembered seeing one comment where someone said "hexcode" instead of assembly (lol)
You never know. Writing machine code in hex directly into memory of the running process is totally a thing and people exposed to this kind of fun long enough just know.
Comments
"Many have compared the advancements in LLMs for software development to the improvements in abstraction that came with better programming languages."
Where can I see examples of this?
Comments comparing LLMs to just another level on the abstraction ladder are fairly commonplace:
