- simonw 1y agoTotally agree. I see LLM assistance as a multiplier on top of your existing expertise. The more experience you have the more benefit you can get.
- d4rkp4ttern 1y agoIndeed, I can predict a huge gulf between pre-vibe senior engs and post-vibe lazy learners: the seniors get massive amplification and meanwhile those on the ground floor are not learning, and even gradually loose what little they did learn
- jasonm23 1y agoI have to add that working effectively with LLMs is a skill too, mostly in terms of prompting and system level prompts to skip _most_ of the fabrication and nonsense. They have to be explicitly told often to keep things brief, non-fiction and non-sycophantic. Then you still need to curate responses, but less so.
- d4rkp4ttern 1y agoAgreed, and being productive with Claude Code and similar cli tools requires being deliberate about creating docs for background info, spec, and implementation plan, and final implementation notes.
