the art of programming and why i won’t use llm

From Kenneth Nym’s blog:

using llm to write code is like asking an artist to paint for you. if you only want the end result, by all means! if you are like me who enjoy the process of painting, then why would you bother automating the fun part away? one may say, “but i am only using llm to write code. i am still doing the problem solving myself!”. to me, programming isn’t complete if i don’t get to express the solution in code myself. it isn’t my art if i don’t create it myself.

I love driving. But it’s hard to believe that human-driven cars have a place in the future. In the same vein, I love programming as well. But, well.
