Maybe a few years ago it would've been "worth it". But with LLMs coming to swallow up all coding tasks and turning programmers into prompt engineers within a few years time, I can't see it being "worth it" any more.

I don’t want to make assumptions, but have you tried systems programming with LLMs?

A few years and everyone will be prompt engineers is laughable. I hope I can actually use it productively for more than unit tests in a few years.
