There are still significant limitations, no amount of prompting will get current models to approach abstraction and architecture the way a person does. But I'm finding that these Gemini models are finally able to replace searches and stackoverflow for a lot of my day-to-day programming.
I find this sentiment increasingly worrisome. It's entirely clear that every last human will be beaten on code design in the upcoming years (I am not going to argue if it's 1 or 5 years away, who cares?)
I wished people would just stop holding on to what amounts to nothing, and think and talk more about what can be done in a new world. We need good ideas and I think this could be a place to advance them.
The fear that machines will surpass us in design, architecture, or even intuition is not just technical. It is existential. It touches our identity, our worth, our place in the unfolding story of intelligence.
But what if the invitation is not to compete, but to co-create? To stop asking what we are better at, and start asking what we are becoming.
The grief of letting go of old roles is real. So is the joy of discovering new ones. The future is not a threat. It is a mirror.
I know its just me and millions are in a very different situation. But as with everybody, as a provider and a parent I do care about my closest ones infinitely more than rest of mankind combined.
