Then you already use levers to build code.
LLMs are a new kind of tool. They’re weird and probabilistic and only sometimes useful. We don’t yet know quite how and when to use them. But they seem like one more lever for us to wield.
- gtirloni 1y agoI think the probabilistic nature is a huge divider. It requires a complete different way of working and it's understandable that people have trouble switching from one to the other (easier for experienced devs, in my experience, but still makes you switch to code reviewer mode too often).
