    People always talk about it in relation to programmers, but what about us non-programmers that have been able to code things only becuase of chatgpt?

    I have some python, sysadmin, and computer security knowledge. I actually obtained the security+ cert a few years ago.

    I do not work in tech anymore, and chatgpt has helped me so much, by basically coding stuff for me to do random work tasks that I was either unqualified to do or didn;t have the time to do.

      I think LLM is fine for shorter scripts. As a professional programmer, it has helped me with writing simple throwaway scripts. Those circumstances are rare.

      My stance is that if you think LLM help you get your job done, then use LLM. It’s just another tool to your arsenal.

      I don’t trust using LLM for large long running software projects though.

      What’s the largest program, in line count (wc -l will be close enough, or open the file in Notepad++ and scroll to the end), that you’ve created this way?
