Did you get so emotionally hurt by another person saying they didn't want to actually type code anymore, that you felt the need to tell them they're likely a "poor coder"? You can still continue to type code if you'd like, no need to put others down because you prefer a different way of working.

Sorry, I'm not here to talk about your feelings. I am not "emotionally hurt", nor should you be. This is HackerNews and you're a grown ass adult (I assume). If you disagree with me, then feel free to outline your disagreement, or just ignore and move on.

My disagreement comes from feeling the need to put others down because they said something you didn't like. Nothing in their comments talks about if they're a good/bad programmer, clearly your putdown comes from a place of hurt. But no worries, lets ignore it from now on out, hope it gets better for you mate!

I'm doing just fine; no need for the passive aggressive bitchiness. Just say what you mean.

How am I not already saying what I mean? What exactly is unclear here? This was what you initially said:

> Poor coders have always existed. You're not the first and won't be the last.

And somehow I'm the one with the passive aggressive bitchiness? :P Enjoy your Saturday mate.

yes, it also exposed lots of hidden talent, which is more important. and fakers are nowhere to go, but LLMs are indeed a litmus test for them.
