Then you would have been done five minutes earlier? I mean, this sort of reads like a parody of microoptimization.
- nottorp 2y agoNo, it reads like "your precious AI generates first year junior code". Like the original article.
- FeepingCreature 2y agoThere is nothing wrong with first year junior code that does the job.
- nottorp 2y agoDoes not. Do you know my requirements? This is actually in a time critical path.
- FeepingCreature 2y agoWell, that wasn't in your comment. :P If you hadn't told me that I would also not have bothered optimizing syscalls. Did you tell the AI the profiler results and ask for ways to make it faster?

- FeepingCreature 2y agoAI actually doesn't really work for the "a couple days" scale yet. As a heavy AI user, this sort of iterative correction would usually be priced in in a 10-minute AI session. That said- > Acting like a LLM now :P Hey, if we're going to be like that, it sure sounds like you gave the employee an incomplete spec so you could then blame it for failing. So... at least I'm not acting like a PM :P
