Well about a year ago vibe coding was not even a thing so let's give it a few years.
I can't deny that assistive llm's have made code production a lot faster, if not yet accessible for everyone.
The biggest concern that i have are the fundamentals of the llm's being really complex and totally not accessible to 99,999% of the population. Here is where innovation and improvement is needed the most. If you want big improvements you need people that can tinker in their basement with simple parts.
the best thing about LLMs is that now I don't have to answer nontechnical pleb q's. its great. just point them at the LLM as a self learning tool and they are willing to pay for it instead of just mooching precious time off of devs
Oh yeah i recommend a lot of people to try it as well but i find it really annoying that this tech cannot really be created by anyone. So we rely on the owners of the services. They giveth and they taketh away. They will also start asking for your age because they can easily be strongarmed by the almighty EU.
My point being that i am waiting for the moment that this does not have to be a service by big companies only.
China with deepseek seems to be pursuing an open source strategy. I know the devil's in the details but self-hosting seems to be possible near the state of the art. There may be a kind of global detente in that sense.
Since this post I'm thinking that the scarcity now is in smart and honest people leveraging these tools.
