Until it fucks up and you have no clue how to fix it, and either does the LLM.
- nprateem 2y agoOr just read the code like I would if a colleague had written it, or do you think it's chucking out assembler?
- ruthmarx 2y agoWhat good will reading the code do you when by your own admission you can't understand it?
- nprateem 2y agoI said I couldn't write it, not that I suddenly became unable to reason or understand programming.
- ruthmarx 2y agoYou said you had no interest in learning it. If you didn't learn it, you don't know it. It doesn't matter if you can reason or 'understand programming' if you haven't learned what is necessary to understand this particular piece of programming. Or is it that you think you can 'reason or understand' any piece of programming? And you possibly assume that is easier, to read what an LLM generates rather learning what is necessary to write it yourself?
