What's with all these articles assuming some fictional reality that coding is replaced by LLMs now? Find me a tool that can build any software anyone wants to build, then ask yourself if you trust that tool to do your taxes for you (if you're in the US anyway), book an entire 3 week $10k vacation for you, manage your finances and set budgets for you, and so on.

What software does the author think people will build with these tools that's "fast fashion" style slop? Even assuming a non-coder wants some random one-off software for something, in what world would they ask a LLM to write it for them rather than look for an existing program that does what they want?

In the dev world, LLMs have proven that they cannot build production-quality software by themselves. They can build pretty demos maybe, but everything from Amazon's tool recreating prod to whatever the fuck the Windows devs are doing shows that trusting an LLM to work on real software will eventually backfire.

Codeinabox specifically seeks them out to post them here to push their narrative.

I’m not gonna assume a motivation, but yes I have noticed that whenever I wonder “Wow, this reads like the author got oneshotted. Who posted this?” it is codeinabox.

Thank you for not assuming my motivations. Could you please elaborate on what you mean by "oneshotted"? I share a lot of articles, so I'm not surprised you recognise my username.

Yeah, the unfortunate reality is that nobody ever remembers your name on the good posts.

“Oneshotted” apparently originated from hallucinogens — the rare but sad occurrence where people try them once and then completely lose their minds.

But I’ve mostly seen it in the context of LLMs, where it means basically the same thing.

(Also: why did someone downvote your reply?)
