"When you behold the prompt file of a coder using A.I., you are viewing a record of the developer’s attempts to restrain the agents’ generally competent, but unpredictably deviant, actions."

Coding After Coders: The End of Computer Programming as We Know It
In the era of A.I. agents, many Silicon Valley programmers are now barely programming. Instead, what they’re doing is deeply, deeply weird.

My happiness and moods are often progress-based. And by this, I mean that when I complete tasks, my brain rewards me with a sense of accomplishment (I have to assume it’s dopamine or whatever…

eu_procurements: EU procurement contract networks (2008-2016)
A bipartite network of public EU procurement contracts, from 2008 to 2016, between issuing buyers (public institutions such as a ministry or city hall) and supplying winners (a private firm). Contracts are aggregated into annual snapshots, edges are annotated with contract value information. Nodes are annotated with location information, including country of origin.
This network has 839824 nodes and 4098711 edges.

"LLMs work (somewhat) for coding computer programs. As everyone knows this is the highest form of human endeavor—unsurpassed by any other lesser activity such as project management, design, art or writing. Therefore LLMs will excel in every other field."
I really believe this is the crux understanding why so many programmers (including good programmers) fall for it in a way that can only be described as a cult, were any criticism is not only not allowed but reflexively is seen as either laughable or belligerent.
Anyway, LLMs are good* at writing code because writing code is easy and highly repetitive and doesn't actually take a lot of skill; unless it's novel ways to write code which LLMs cannot do.
Taking this as a sign LLMs can do other "lesser" activities is saying a lot about the hubris of programmers and not a lot of the capabilities of LLMs.
*for some definitions of "good"
