This is the issue, right? If you have to do this, are you saving any time?
- jgilias 1y agoI believe this depends on the individual. For me, yeah, I am. But I do have colleagues who wouldn’t be.
- dmazin 1y agoI know what you’re saying, but I’m saving time by: * getting ideas for how logic etc could be implemented * boilerplate is a thing of the past The other thing is that I have the LLM make the modifications I want. I know how long it takes to get an extremely bad programmer to do what you want, but the LLM is far better than that, so I do come out ahead.
- tasuki 1y ago(Usually) Yes. The LLM can generate three functions, over 100 lines of code, and I spend perhaps 15 minutes rearranging it so it pleases me aesthetically. It would've taken me an hour or two to write. I find most benefit in writing tests for a yet-inexistent function I need, then giving the LLM the function signature, and having it implement the function. TDD in the age of LLMs is great!
