I feels to weird to tell LLMs not to do things "by hand"

I feels to weird to tell LLMs not to do things "by hand"
Do I get tired of being so right with LLMs? Yes
Is it worth it? Definitely
The time gains to think properly about problems, and the best solutions to a given situation is simply incredible

Over the next couple of weeks we will be stitching together how we do data processing simple for small data: spreadsheets, maps, charts, data transformations

Not everybody achieves mastery, mostly because they get tired of doing the same thing over and over. Rewrite, refactor, redraw, again and again, from scratch, many times over... feels like time wasted, but it is not.

The Pareto Law of Vibe Coding: AI can get you to 80% of a product quickly, but the final 20% takes 80% of your time. Real-world use cases require systems thinking and problem decomposition — something non-coders will struggle with.

Many people say that we will be replaced not by AI but by people who knows how to use AI, which I think it is true. But there is something deeper, I believe the professionals who will thrive in the AI era are actually systems thinkers with good taste, good aesthetics

It took me a month to code a project (40k lines of code)... something that otherwise would have taken me a year or two

The world moved from Swordsmiths to Codesmiths... AI tools and agents orchestration will be more a craft that an science.
AI Craftsmanship will change education and first time jobs as we know them. No degree required, learn with the masters.

This is just crazy... I plan with cursor a big refactor and translation from one code base in one language to another language. The plan results in a timeline of weeks, as the LLMs guesstimate from human times.
But the actual migration will go through in a couple of hours instead

Is there some type of epistemological complexity metric? Kolmogorov complexity won't work for optimizing or simplifying LLM written code.
Will verbosity and explainability reign over clever code?

It is very difficult to make things simple, as it requires a great level of complexity under the hood, which may feel counter intuitive. The way the complexity is handled by little interconnected blocks gives rise to beauty, and beauty is the best assessment of simplicity
