I&#39;ll never stop programming. I&#39;ll keep coding as long as I&#39;m able to. It&#39;s the ultimate brain teaser. I don&#39;t care for sudoku and the like; I&#39;d rather write a sudoku solver (again, in new languages) than solve sudokus manually. And, obviously, telling a language model to do that for me has no appeal. It&#39;s like asking a person who loves sudokus if they&#39;d like to use a sudoku solver instead. #CoderForever

Using a free software stack, you could be an effective developer with a relatively low budget. A cheap or used laptop and an internet subscription. LLM coding is changing that too. You either need a very powerful and expensive machine to run a local model, or (currently more likely) an LLM subscription. We are lead to believe you have to pay a monthly fee to be an effective developer. The prospect of your output as a developer being tied to a proprietary service seems risky at best.
