I didn't draw the comparison. Karpathy, one of the most prominent LLM proponents on the planet -- the guy who invented the term 'vibe-coding' -- drew the comparison.[1]
> And the "I don't use these tools and never will" sentiment is rampant in the tech community right now. So yes, I am serious.
I think you misunderstood my comment -- or my comment just wasn't clear enough: I quoted the line "It does amaze me that the people who don't use these tools seem to have the most to say about them." and then I asked "You're kidding, right?" In other words, "you can't seriously believe that the nay-sayers 'always have the most to say.'" It's a ridiculous claim. Just about every naysayer 'think piece' -- whether or not it's garbage -- is responding to an overwhelming tidal wave of pro-LLM commentary and press coverage.
> Youre not talking about the blog post that completely ignored agentless uses are you? The one that came to the conclusion LLMs arent useful despite only using a subset of its features?
I'm referring to this one[2]. It's awful, smug, self-important, sanctimonious nonsense.

- mexicocitinluez 1y agoI'm so confused as to why you took that so literally. I didn't literally mean that the nay-sayers are producing more words than the evangelists. It was a hyperbolic expression. And I wasn't JUST talking about the blog posts. I'm talking about ALL comments about it.
- globnomulous 1y agoSure, that's fair, though tone is difficult both to communicate and to detect in writing. I have just the literal meaning of your words. And I'm a very literal-minded person. :)
- mexicocitinluez 1y agoAgreed. I am, too. So I get it.
