🌟 [ 34 ]   AI is Overrated – Why ThePrimeagen Ripped Out GitHub Copilot From His Code Editor [Podcast #124] [ @freeCodeCamp.org ]

On this week s episode of the podcast, freeCodeCamp founder Quincy Larson interviews The Primeagean. He s a software engineer who streams himself programming. He recently left his job at Netflix to stream full-time. We talk about: - Prime s journey from his teacher telling him he ll never accomplish anything in life to working as an engineer at one of the most prestigious tech companies. - Prime s love of Nintendo Hard video games, and how his love of challenge propelled him to get good at coding - What it s like to live stream coding in front of more than 1,000 people for a dozen hours each week - Leaving San Francisco to move his family of 6 to a horse ranch in South Dakota - Prime s thoughts on AI and how he thinks it will actually create more developer jobs than it destroys I had a blast talking with this guy. Though I don t agree with everything he says, I am right there with him on AI and how it s useful but over-hyped. We ll see what future versions hold and whether a Moore s Law of AI is really at work here, or whether it will plateau. I also agree with Prime that devs need to slow down and improve their foundational skills. There are no shortcuts to anywhere worth going. Can you guess what song I m playing on my bass during the intro? It s from a 1996 rock song.
