I feel like you think the car analogy was a clever parallel to draw here but looking at a car centric north american population and the dimensions of a non trivial slice of them that are unable to walk a 5k, id say you made the opposite point.
replyYou have a point based on the way I wrote it. What I was trying to get at:
replyIf you're going to walk to the store, don't push you car there! Just walk. So if you want to write code, don't retype what the LLM said, create your code from your own brain.
Managers famously get dumber but think they get smarter and then start to write army metaphors.
replyUnfortunately coding is a perishable skill, unlike walking which is at least partially ingrained into our DNA.
replyy'all have to come up with a better argument than "LLMs are cars"
replyDon’t good generals know how everyone else in their army does their jobs? At the very least to the extent they can see through the bullshit.
replyFor example, I don’t handwrite the code that the compiler produces, but I know how to troubleshoot the IR/assembly and fix optimization issues that arise occasionally. That makes me better at my job of directing the compiler.

replyThey most certainly do, but on a mid-higher level. They don't probably know every single motion and definitely lack hands-on experience. But they know enough to be able to manage them efficiently.
