I hear people mentioning that LLMs will cause the death of programmers.

What I don't hear is that LLMs will cause the death of programming languages.

If I'm using an LLM to write my code, why am I using Python or Javascript? What is the point?

As long as my LLM is doing the programming, I might as well have it program in C.

Even further, why not have the LLM program directly in machine code?

There is no need to program in a slow high level programming language if the LLM is doing the programming for me.

LLM is literally a lossy compression scheme

we are in no danger of losing our jobs over it, us senior devs

at best, maybe juniors will learn stuff a bit more efficiently

LLMs don't have the ability to reason in depth, at all, and programming is the most depth-oriented logic you can do
