Right, but obviously you can see the unknown unknown problem or Dunning-Krueger popping up when software developers who don’t know everything (unlike me, of course) start using it extensively without knowing the ways in which their prompt engineering is flawed.
- simonw 3y agoOne of the big open questions in LLM-assisted learning is whether it helps or hinders less experienced developers. At this point I'm pretty confident it helps them. They need to understand that it's not infallible, but I think most people figure that out pretty quickly after using it for more than a few days. There's absolutely a skill to using these things well, and it's a difficult one to teach because it's based more on intuition that you develop over time. The key thing is helping people understand the strengths and limitations of these tools. That's something I do think we can teach.
