Even more insidious: LLM editing & "vibe coding" is itself gatekeeping! 100%!

It's telling people they're too weak-minded to learn how to program and accomplish meaningful work using their own brains, so they need Big Tech to (expensively) do it for them! In addition, it means Fancy Clever 10X Programmers (lol) can *avoid* making programming a whole hell of a lot easier because that notion "doesn't matter" anymore!

It's all so completely backwards and absurd! @sueSue Smith glasgow.social/@sue/1156332539

I sometimes see people describing resistance to LLM assisted coding as gatekeeping and I get that, software engineering culture is absolutely rife with gatekeeping, I quite literally dedicated dedicated my career to developer education because I want more people to have access to these opportunities. But here's the thing, in order to fully participate in the world of software you will still need to learn to code, giving people the impression that isn't the case is not empowering.
