If you're a software engineer and you're saying that, you're full of shit.
- aurareturn 2y agoWhy would I be full of shit. I go into the office for 8 hours. How many of those 8 hours do you think I spend on Google as a senior programmer? Probably 30 mins on average at most is my guess.
- verdverm 2y agoI concur, but would say the amount of search depends on the current task. Much of it is getting to the long-form content that LLMs would summarize, but you actually need to read the original source to get a complete understanding or find the quirks. I'm currently working on something that requires above average searching, but it is definitely something that an LLM fails hard at and requires pouring through copious numbers of content looking for the needle in the haystack. The current LLMs are ok at average or common tasks, but are miserable at anything uncommon, product of their architecture and training (currently trying to figure out how to get CentOS 7 -> Rocky 8 inplace upgrade with LUKS working, which is not supported in leapp...)
