Use a language with lots of boilerplate code so the LLM can generate more code for you?

- loa_in_ 2y agoBeing explicit without concerns about being terse is something that wasn't practical before assisted coding and that would be a realisation of some of most important tenets of computer science.
- kaba0 2y agoTerseness is not only about practicality. Even if AI writes it for me, it requires a huge deal more reading comprehension on my part to properly check it. E.g. an if err block every couple lines will actively hinder reading that code, and is an easy source for errors to hide (no, just because you check the value of err doesn't make it proper error handling).
- pyrale 2y ago> something that wasn't practical before assisted coding It still isn't practical if you read more code than you write, unless you also use a LLM to summarize the code for you.
