>>99064When I went to college for cs a decade ago, long before LLMs were on the radar, at least 90% of the graduates of that program couldn't write a single line of code. They knew quite a bit about computer science but programming was a skill they didn't possess, despite it being the focus of the program (very employment focused rather than theory focused).
Some people just can't do it. It's like there's a certain mental hurdle people need to hop over before they can code, and most people don't seem to be able to manage it. A lot of the students in that class were very smart people too so it isn't strictly an intelligence thing, although in the case of jeets it might be.
Quite a few of those people ended up getting jobs as "developers" although what kind of work they did, if any, I don't know because I didn't keep up with them after college ended.
