Honestly, this reminds me of my early days when auto-complete and OOP was the best thing. It's why OOP proliferated, you type in the name of the object and get a list of completions in visual studio. No need to read docs or understand what you are doing, just find the method you need on that object. This new copilot coding reminds me of that, throwing shit and see what sticks, without understanding why and how it works. I can't help to shake the thought that we will see heaps of mediocre code cranked out that just about works, even though the problem maybe required a tenth of that to solve it.

- dsego 3y agoI think you're right.
- throwaway4aday 3y agoTerrifying, what will be the towering class hierarchies and template hell that fall out of LLM powered coding? More importantly, what will be the better approaches that we should take to avoid creating a quagmire of unmaintainable code?
