A place for developers to talk about building on Farcaster.

I wonder if ten years from now, the ability to type code character-by-character on a physical keyboard without the help of an LLM could be considered a survival skill.

Like treading water, starting a fire or knowing the Heimlich maneuver.

I saw a guy coding today.
No cursor.
No windsurf. 
No chatgpt.
He just sat there. Typing code manually.  
Like a psychopath.

I feel like this is true for pure Node JavaScript.

I don't think a single dev even remembers what the prototype chain or the event loop even is anymore.

All they know how to do is regurgitate Typescript without bothering to use the type system and lie.

I’m not even talking about a particular programming language. Just knowing how to type code on a keyboard coherently.

Computing is not going to look or feel anything like the way we know it today a decade from now.

Not knocking what you're saying about typing btw. The key point is coding is already so abstracted this basically happened. Now AI is coming around and can likely stich libraries together better than any human.

People already don't know how to code I guess is what I'm saying. No one is "coding", they're just gluing libraries together.
