what is the cost of enabling someone to create little pieces of software if he otherwise wouldn't? I'm no advocate of vibe coding serious commercial software, but to do little DIY stuff - absolutely.
No one is forbidding people creating little pieces of software.
But creating little pieces of software was already available, for example I make most of my DIY software in a spreadsheet.
There are tons upon tons of low code possibilities or already existing software packages that need a bit of configuration that one can use and using AI or LLM's is not bringing anything that is revolutionizing access to computation or tailoring software. Just get your head around Excel or LibreOffice Calc and most of your DIY software needs are covered.
What LLM's and AI is bringing to the table is illusion of being able to create software exactly like people who have all the theoretical background or experience in building it. (which seems the person I originally replied to be one of those)
So as my original comment the problem is: that people building a forest hut are convinced that only if they just put more sticks on top, they will manage to build a skyscraper.
I'm so confused. So now you're an elitist gatekeeper to the world of programming? I entered w/o knowledge, and my apps are pretty useful to myself and some others.
They're not "little pieces of software". They are fully-working, self-contained, apps with lots of unique code. Some are better than many apps that existed 10 years ago, but you seem to resent that. Also, whatever you do is relatively "high-level" programming on top of the work of those who created hardware and engineered programming languages, compilers and SDKs.
its awesome and fun but people throwing shit they dont understand how it 100% works online is a tale as old as people paying attention. which apprentnly isnt that long. fuck off
no one is disagreeing. you just havent discovered the true costs yet
