RE: llms for coding. One of the main things I see from people who aren't loving LLMs for coding is that they see it make a dumb mistake and then write it off. My main advice here is to just recognize that every quarter, there is going to be some smarter model than the prior quarter. There are also going to be better context providers year over year like cursor IDE's tools for integrating docs and related files into the prompt. If you follow this trend out, you're eventually going to have really super powerful coding assistants. So stick with it and try reprompting rather than giving up altogether because eventually they will exceed your expectations. I have been blown away by o3-mini and have written some really great code with it already. Folks who gave up back when gpt4 on copilot didn't work for them will be late to experience these massive step function changes in productivity.
