> > For someone like you, who likely has years of experience without LLMs, your brain totally understands good code/bad code, good architecture, and just general intuition around code and systems. LLMs must be an absolute gamechanger. But for someone like me who is starting out in this field, how am I supposed to build the years of experience and intuition that comes from manually writing code and building systems when companies are expecting AI to be used from here on out?

Answer: juniors need to work with seniors, and the seniors need to teach the juniors, and the juniors need to learn to use LLMs to learn, not just to do the work.

I've been teaching a few people to vibecode, and it depends on the person learning. The honest answer is as someone who's been in the industry multiple decades, a lot of my knowledge isn't necessary to be useful at vibecoding. I was about to go into a long discussion about cryptography and public private keys, and prime numbers and RSA and gpg and etc but we short circuited that discussion by asking ChatGPT about it and asking it to dumb down the explanation it gave to a couple of salient sentences and I added some flavor and we moved on with our lives.
