I most certainly have not. At work, I do greenfield development in a specialized problem domain, and I would not trust a model (or, for that matter, a junior developer) to do any kind of refactor in an acceptable manner. (That aside, there's no way I'm goingto expose company code to any sort of outside party without the approval of upper management).
At home, I program for fun and self-improvement, and a big part of both is thinking hard about problems. Why would I want to wreck that with asking a model to do it for me?
- motoboi 3y agoOh, I understand. What if you have an idea and you tell the computer to implement it and then thoroughly check the code? About the self-improvement part, I suppose you don't operate your graphics card yourself, but delegate it to your driver. The LLM is just another tool.
- smabie 3y agoOh yea your work is far too sophisticated for a llm, got it
- bigbillheck 3y agoSome of us do actual creative work, yes.
