I was recently sucked into doing something like a caveman … writing Rust by hand with the wonderful Zed IDE to solve a Python problem. Ahh … what a wonderful world we live in. It felt strangely good to do such things; it brought me back to the days pre-LLM when I would fight tooth and nail with that borrow checker and compiler. Like it or not, those days are mostly done as far as the future of Software Development goes … I’m sure there will be little hobbit holes of bearded Rust developers hacking away by hand long into the future, but that will be the exception, not the rule.
