> Just like if you pressed a button to wipe out our main language stack at our job, yeah none of us would know how to do anything with assembly or machine code.

All the devs would spend a couple weeks learning assembly and go on coding. And all the non-dev vibe coders would be unable to continue.

So I don't think it's quite the same.

Which one is more at risk of having the wipe-out and cost levers: your FOSS language/compiler or your paid third party LLM?

Sure, there are similarities, but while we're figuring out a FOSS solution that will run on your machine and we'll have access to more than the weights, the abstraction ladder isn't as equivalent as we think they are.

My guy, that's like calling McDonald's a higher level abstraction for cooking. Ordering a big mac doesn't make you a chef.
