Any systems / low-level / embedded developpers who could give their grain of salt on this? I'm a student and I'm specializing in embedded and systems programming, but everyone around me (webdevs) tells me LLMs will take over and writing C and Zig and Rust is useless... Should I just give up on my passion and embrace AI and high-level programming?

honestly i think LLMs make it easier to write with lower level languages and you get the upside of being able to optimize better since you have more granularity of control in something like C vs something like Python.

I don’t know if LLMs will completely take over, but they’re a useful tool today. I think it’s worth learning how to use them effectively, but also know how to work without them, and when to work without them.
