what we should and what we are forced to do are very different things. if I can get a machine to do the stuff I hate dealing with, I'll take it every time.

- exe34 1y agono, I'm testing it the same way I test my own code!

- skydhash 1y agoIt's like the xkcd on automation https://xkcd.com/1205/ https://xkcd.com/1205/ After a while, it just make sense to redesign the boilerplate and build some abstraction instead. Duplicated logic and data is hard to change and fix. The frustration is a clear signal to take a step back and take an holistic view of the system.
- gibbitz 1y agoAnd this is a great example of something I rarely see LLMs doing. I think we're approaching a point where we will use LLMs to manage code the way we use React to manage the DOM. You need an update to a feature? The LLM will just recode it wholesale. All of the problems we have in software development will dissolve in mountains of disposable code. I could see enterprise systems being replaced hourly for security reasons. Less chance of abusing a vulnerability if it only exists for an hour to find and exploit. Since the popularity of LLMs proves that as a society we've stopped caring about quality, I have a hard time seeing any other future.
