In general I almost never break even when trying to use an LLM for coding. I guess there’s a selection bias because I hate leaving my flow to go interact with some website, so I only end up asking hard questions maybe.
But since I wired Mixtral up to Emacs a few weeks ago I discovered that LLMs are crazy good at Lisp (and protobuf and prisma and other lispy stuff). GPT-4 exhibits the same property (though I think they’ve overdone it on the self-CoT prompting and it’s getting really snippy about burning compute).
My dots are now like recursively self improving.
