Don't learn how to cook. Learn how to choose ingredients, prepare them, saute/boil/bake them and service them. Those are much more valuable skills than cooking.

@tsoding Call it “recreational cooking” :)

@tsoding Hmmmm you might be on to something there 😹

@tsoding This is a great reply x.com/andrewtiosa/st…

@tsoding its a waste of time to learn language. instead learn how to produce and interpret common noise patterns.

@tsoding I no longer think you should learn how to cook

Yes, this example can be reapplied to coding or now software engineering. Previously, there were people who wrote a lot of things at three-figure digit WPM on their keyboard, like competitive programmers, etc. Now, that thing—the coding part—is going to become obsolete due to fast LLMs that give whatever code we want. But now, the thing that arrives is like having a machine that can do anything on its own—like a drilling machine, a self-driving car, and other machinery. But you still need an experienced operator to operate it perfectly. Now, we can see from this example: previously, manual labor was in large quantity and required a lot of work. Now, there are fewer manual laborers, but these fewer workers are highly specialized, operating the machines that perform tasks on behalf of many laborers. And the remaining people are those who adapt themselves to work alongside these new machines. The same applies to us coders. We just need to sharpen our analytical thinking, problem-solving, and project management skills. We now have a machine (AI agent LLM) that can do any work we want, we just need to operate it properly while still understanding what's happening at the core behind the scenes.

@tsoding Vibe cooking

@tsoding Now we're cookin'

@tsoding Funny thing is, my mum and grandma would cook similarly to “vibe cooking”. No precise measurements needed, just go by taste and feel.

@tsoding Vibe cooking?

@tsoding Bro, that's what cooking is.

@tsoding cooking is entirely different from running a restaurant.

@tsoding Why learn when there’s TV dinners amirite?

@tsoding Try out "vibe cooking"

@tsoding The moment they run out of human generated data, I wonder what will happen...

@tsoding Chinese food is all about fire, you need to play with fire if you want to cook Chinese food.

@tsoding This is confusing. We need to explain it with cars and driving.

@tsoding I agree with this. Making delicious food, and using what you’ve got on hand the best way you can is a lot like coding. Plus it’s delicious, and makes you a great host 😊

@tsoding Don’t learn to read and write. We can talk and listen.

@tsoding This whole discussion is hilarious. Like, my job is to code. OK, so I'll just unlearn it? Fuck off build something useful.

@tsoding Vibe cooking as the kids say

@tsoding A home cook and a chef with the same ingredients won’t create the same outcome.

@tsoding 🤣🤣 I mean I get your point but your example is not relevant!

@tsoding What an insightful perspective! The art of gathering and preparing quality ingredients can certainly elevate a dish. Thanks for sharing! 😊

@tsoding 😂 make it make sense

@tsoding It is a reality that AI is going to do better and better. The human skills valued will be software requirements specification through natural language (like a customer but with technical knowledge) and testing the correctness of the result within the expected computational cost.

@tsoding Tsoding really cooked him and he ain't even ceo.

@tsoding Great analogy. Speaking of cooking and coding I think the cook, baker, chef paradigm is also very relevant right now. Chef would be a vibe-cook/baker but he can't become one without first being a good cook and a good baker. It's a process.

@tsoding You mean cooking on a thermomix? 🙃

@tsoding The day AI codes better than humans means the day AI can code a better AI and the intelligent explosion occurs. Until then we have an extremely good auto-complete that cannot do anything on its own (beyond the silly examples like bouncing balls and simple games)

@tsoding Eventually you'll figure out that presentation skills don't really matter unless you're working at a fancy restaurant or trying to impress a date. Everyone else just wants to sit down and eat. Also your described cooking. After saying don't learn to cook. Are you okay bro?

@tsoding This is sarcasm
