It allows you to write a little code in languages that you are not familiar with. However, it is nothing like actually internalizing a language.

- cruffle_duffle 2y agoThat’s true. But if you are already an experienced developer who’s been around the block enough to call bullshit when you see it, these LLM thingies can be pretty useful for unfamiliar languages. But you need to be constantly vigilant, ask it the right questions (eg: “is this thing you wrote really best practice for this language? Cause it doesn’t seem that way”), and call bullshit on obvious bullshit… …which sometimes feels like it is more work than just fucking doing it yourself. So yeah. I dunno!
