I don’t feel LLMs are the good tool for that. It’s nice to have something that behaves as if it understood my requests and business model, but we need reproducibility, otherwise it’s too unpredictable.
I also don’t like English as a language to express requirements, it’s not strict enough and depends too much on an implicit context. Whatever high-level abstraction we end up with it cannot be something that results in the wrong implementation because the agent incorrectly read the tone of the exchange.

- lunarboy 2y agoThat's why code was invented in the first place no? But now LLMs are in the ballpark where lay people can describe something vaguely and get a working MVP. Whether you can ship, scale, and debug that code is a completely different question
- hooverd 2y agoLay people can pour concrete and nail boards together; that doesn't mean they'll lay a good foundation and erect a square frame.
- soco 2y agoNobody (or nobody in their right mind) argues that AI should be let by itself build productive applications. How about using it as a willing helping hand? I do that and it's really helping me, provided I actually know what it's trying to do and I will correct course - both by re-prompting and by writing the missing pieces by hand. That gives me extra speed, not magical powers.
