Don't You Mean Extinct? Evolving as a Programmer in the Age of LLMs

Don't You Mean Extinct?

Drawing parallels between the CGI revolution that replaced stop-motion in Jurassic Park and today's rise of LLMs, I argue that programmers must evolve to avoid obsolescence. By mastering new tools like Andrej Karpathy's resources and John Carmack's insights, we can shift focus from typing code to solving problems. This means demanding higher quality in code reviews, writing better tests, and embracing smaller teams to build elegant software.

"Coding was never the source of value, and people shouldn't get overly attached to it. Problem solving is the core skill."
