Do they not make the youth do entirely on paper coding tests anymore?
As long as it's pseudocode
That was the best way to learn, too… think ahead and write it down with a pen and paper…
And no eraser or liquid paper.
That can still be from memory of code fragments you read earlier.
In that case the only people who program are those who develop new programming languages from the ground up. And maybe not them since they learned how to do it somewhere.
And thus, you've reached the point. Human beings can - theoretically - only generate ideas based on their life experiences. To put it another way, we can only generate output based on data on which we were trained.
Which is why I think it's funny that people hate LLMs for doing exactly what we do.
I also tend to hate other people for the same^[though it's more about, them dismissing other's exp, because calling sbd delusional is easier than admitting a problem], so yeah.
Children of Memory was a really good book on this topic.
My point was that such a belief is patently ridiculous, as ‘nobody codes, actually’ is a ridiculous shape to twist yourself into to accommodate AI slop as being equivalent to human learning.
Yep. Humans are just meat computers.
