When I read these LLM in coding discussions, I'm reminded a lot of online dating discussions. Someone will post "I'm really having a tough time dating. I tried X (e.g. a dating app) but I had a tough experience." Someone will respond "I tried X and had great success. Highly recommended." Seems confounding, but when you click into their profiles to see pictures of each person, it becomes abundantly clear why these people report different experiences.
Not to dog the author too hard, but a look at their Github profile says a lot about the projects they've worked on and what kind of dev they are. Not much there in terms of projects or code output, but they do have 15k followers on Twitter, where they post frequently about LLMs to their audience.
They aren't talking about the tasks and the domains they're using because that's incidental; what they really want to do is just talk about LLMs to their online audience, not ship code.
