I’m an amateur coder and I used to rely on Cursor a lot to code when I was actively working on hobby apps about 6 months ago

I picked coding again a couple of days back and I’m blown away by how much things have changed

It was all manual work until a few months back. Suddenly, its all agents

I think it's very useful if one wants to properly weigh the value of LLMs in a way that gets beyond the hype. Which I do.

My 80-year old dad tells me that when he bought his first car, he could pop open the hood and fiddle with things and maybe get it to work after a breakdown

Now he can't - it's too closed and complicated

Yet, modern cars are way better and almost never breakdown

Don't see how LLMs are any different than any other tech advancement that obfuscates and abstracts the "fundamentals".

I definitely believe that you don't see it. We just disagree on what that implies.
