Perhaps there will be a lot more people who can write software as well as I can weld metal.
Welding is peculiar in that becoming a professional welder takes a great deal of time and effort (and probably some talent that I don't have), but becoming a terrible welder can be accomplished by anyone in a couple of weekends, and there is great utility in being a terrible welder. Well worth the investment of a couple hundred dollars and a couple weekends.
With LLMs there is now much more utility in being a terrible programmer too. A couple of weekends yields real return on the effort now.
