Hi, Simon (Jakobi)! Thanks for your clarifications. I don’t want to go further into all the details but rather comment on what’s maybe the central point here:

Sebastian’s comments on this were pretty > spot-on IMHO. >From what I remember, Sebastian wrote that code generation done by machines will entirely replace programming done by humans. This is completely unrealistic. The set of tasks that can be automated using LLMs is small, and programming is not in this set, given that it fundamentally needs creativity and human judgement. Surely, there will be much effort to replace programming even more by “vibe-coding”, but this can only end in disaster. If there was a trend to get rid of energy supply by building perpetual motion machines, I would definitely advise not to follow it, for a simple reason: there are no perpetual motion machines.
