Re:Ask HN: SWEs how do you future-proof your career in light of LLMs?

This is a fascinating comment, because it shows such a mis-reading of the history and point of technology (on a tech forum). Technological progress always leads to loss of skilled labor like your own, usually resulting in lower quality (but higher profits and often lower prices). Of COURSE an LLM won't be able to do work as well as you, just as industrial textile manufacturing could not, and still does not, produce the quality of work of 19th century cottage industry weavers; that was in fact one of their main complaints.
As an aside, at the top of the front page right now is a sprawling essay titled "Why is it so hard to buy things that work well?"...
