What's your process? Can you give an example? So far for me, I found them to be most useful using LLMs as code copilot.
- runlevel1 2y agoFor example, I asked it for a database schema given some parameters. What it gave me wasn't quite what I wanted, but seeing it written out helped me realize some flaws in the original design I had in mind. It wasn't that what it gave me was better. The act of evaluating its suggestions helped me clarify my own ideas. It's sort of like Cunningham's Law with a party of one. Giving me the wrong answer helps me clarify what the correct answer should look like. Or, perhaps a better way to put it: It's easier to criticize than to create. It gives me something to criticize and tinker with. Doing so helps me hone in on the solution I want. (Provided its suggestion was at least in the right universe, of course.)
