I'm really concerned about the impact of LLMs on the software engineering industry, not for the job losses but for the mass dumbification. LLMs can give superpowers to seasoned engineers, but they're pure kryptonite for the rest. At this rate, we will not have a next generation of senior engineers.

Just finished watching Andor Season 2. What an absolute masterpiece: stellar acting, photography, directing and soundtrack. With Rogue 1, Andor is the best thing that happened to Star Wars since the original trilogy. There, the empire is no joke, but is cruel, oppressive and instills hopelessness.
