This article really grates me the wrong way. A company selling an AI product saying the following about AI sceptics:
> All you crazy MFs are completely overlooking the fact that software engineering exists as a discipline because you cannot EVER under any circumstances TRUST CODE.
is straight up insulting to me, because it effectively comes down to "use my product or you're a looney".
Also, while two years after this post (which should be labeled 2023) I've still barely tried to entirely offload coding to an LLM, the few times I did try have been pretty crap. I also really, really don't want to 'chat' with my codebase or editor. 'Chatting' to me feels about as slow as writing something myself, while I also don't get a good mental model 'for free'.
I am a moderately happy user of AI autocomplete (specifically Supermaven), but I only ever accept suggestions that are trivially correct to me. If it's not trivial, it might be useful as a guide of where to look in actual documentation if relevant, but just accepting it will lead me down a wrong path more often than not.
