I think both of these takes a disingenuous.

Solving problems is a pretty vague term.
> The fact that you can hack things that do cool stuff
Lots of times this is how problems actually get solved. I would argue most of the time this is how problems get solved. More so if your working with other peoples software because your not reinventing CUPS, Dashboards, VPN's, Marketing Tools, Mail clients, Chat Clients and so on... I would argue that LOTS of good software is propped up directly and indirectly by this sort of hacking.
- th0ma5 1y agoOh I mean for sure, but the point I was trying to make is that OP did those things, and I would argue the LLMs mostly just give him the permission to do it rather than actually producing something that he actually fully let the system do. I mean, he even says this too. I understand hacking is how things are done, but the thing that managers don't understand is that hacking is not their personal army, and you can't rub AI on things and make them better without losing determinism.
