Personal anecdote: I pushed some LLM generated code into Prod during a call with the client today. It was simple stuff, just a string manipulation function, about 10 LOC. Absolutely could have done it by hand but it was really cool to not have to think about the details - I just gave some inputs and desired outputs and had the function in hand and tested it. Instead of saying "I'll reply when the code is done" I was able to say "it's done, go ahead and continue" and that was a cool moment for me.
- roland35 2y agoThat's the perfect application for llm code! It is a well defined problem, with known inputs and outputs, and probably many examples the llm slurped up from open source code. And that isn't a bad thing! Now us engineers need to focus on the high level stuff, like what code to write in the first place.
