So maybe the body wastes it way internationally as it may not \u201cwant\u201d to keep on maintaining something that it isn\u2019t using.This happens with muscles. For instance, when you stop working out at the gym, your muscles start to slowly waste away.What worries me is that this may happen to skilled programmers brains. The developed faculties of the brain concerning temporal logic [2]\u00a0 might be wasted away such that;a) Other tasks that might have benefited from your \u201cprogramming cognitive muscles\u201d might get harder to do.b) It might get harder to learn a new \u201cprogramming like\u201d skill that shows up in the future.In London for example, they have a taxi service informally referred to as \u201cBlack Cabs\u201d.It turns out that in order to work for these \u201cBlack Cabs\u201d you are required to memorize over 40,000 streets, landmarks and major buildings. [3]People who qualify to drive for black cabs often develop a bigger hippocampus (the part of\u00a0 the brain responsible for memory), and this bigger hippocampus probably helps them memorize stuff more effectively compared to Uber drivers that rely on GPS [4] A better memory system will also be beneficial to the \"black cab drivers\" for tasks that have nothing to do with driving, but require good memory.Everyone is talking about what LLMs will offer them. Unfortunately, there is little discussion on what they will take away.Atrophy risk\u00a0 of cognitive skills amongst vibe coders is something IMHO that should be looked at more closely.[1]: Interesting Wikipedia page on Atrophy [2]: (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temporal_logic) Temporal Logic is the system in which I suspect programmers use to think about code.
