I'm also betting on this, that one day I'll be able to dump a codebase into an LLM and it will clean up the code. Not rewrite it, not restructure it, just clean it up. Remove unused code and comment it sensibly. Maybe also suggest some tests for it and implement them separately.
- Cthulhu_ 2y agoCopilot already does this, at least for individual chunks of code (and text, for that matter). Not for a whole codebase, but I think that's going to be a matter of time.
- ropejumper 2y agoComments should be based on intention. If I, as the programmer, am writing a piece of code and feel like there's something that I need to communicate about my intention in writing this, then I should. But if it's just surface level analysis, comments are just noise most of the time. I don't see why this would be useful.
- m0llusk 2y agoI wonder if such an LLM will actually be cheaper than a graduate student.
