Is that true? I'd like to think my commits are less burdensome to review than a fresh out of boot camp junior dev especially if all that's being done is fixing linter issues. Perhaps there's a small benefit, but doesn't seem like a major productivity boost.
- ErikBjare 2y agoA junior dev is not a good approximation of the strengths and weaknesses of these models.
- jebarker 2y agoThe post I originally commented on literally made that comparison when describing the models as a massive productivity boost.
- rbren 2y agoAgreed! The comparison is great for estimating the scope of the tasks they're capable of--they do very well with bite-sized tasks that can be individually verified. But their world knowledge is that of a principal engineer! I think this is why people struggle so much with agents--they see the agent perform magic, then assume it can be trusted with a larger task, where it completely falls down.
