Yes, LLMs can actually help with coding. But it’s not magic. There are limits. And you get better with practice.
- brigandish 2y agoWithout people providing their prompts, it's impossible to say whether they are skilled or not, and their complaints or claims of "it worked with this prompt" without the output are also not possible to validate. Maybe there's a clue in there as to why these experiences seem so different. I'm glad GPTs don't get frustrated.
- cheevly 2y agoIve spent thousands of hours, literally, learning the ropes, and continue to hone it. There is a much higher skill ceiling for prompting than there was for Google-fu.
- simonw 2y agoI have a personal policy of sharing my prompts as openly as possible. I've shared hundreds at this point - for a bunch of recent examples see https://simonwillison.net/2024/Oct/21/claude-artifacts/ https://simonwillison.net/2024/Oct/21/claude-artifacts/ and https://simonwillison.net/tags/ai-assisted-programming/ https://simonwillison.net/tags/ai-assisted-programming/
