The vast majority of coding isn’t making something new, it’s using existing patterns and tools and arranging them to fit a specific use case.

I would argue that arranging something to fit a specific use case is making something new.

Ask any designer how difficult it is to get a spec sheet from a client and meet their expectations. We're expecting LLMs to suddenly solve this problem.

Llms may not be able to create a new framework or design pattern

Until they can do this, there is little threat to designers. There will be less grunt work, of course.

The sad reality is that code is just a form of language, and LLMs are good at learning languages.

This is debatable. LLMs are prediction machines.

What use is prediction when you are trying to code something new?

Only for a few, and only those who have a gift for it, which Paul claims he had.

and a bible that says not to have too much sex

I'm not sure what Bible you've read. The ones I've read make no claim to "not have too much sex".

All analogies have flaws. If they didn't, they wouldn't be an analogy, they would be describing the very thing itself.

What’s not cool is shitting on a movie just because you didn’t like it or it didn’t make sense to you.

If you don't like or don't get a work of art, it is entirely reasonable to shit on it.

The emperor has no clothes.

Not all knowledge is inherently useful; some knowledge may lack practical application, relevance, or purpose, especially within certain contexts or timeframes.

Not all knowledge has application, the human mind has bandwidth limitations (ignoring capacity), knowledge is contextually sensitive, and some knowledge is actively harmful (e.g. misinformation, distraction).
