UI can mean many things.
To most people it is about IDE and development tool chains.
Or we can think of it from the perspective of mapping programmer’s mental model to the problems they want to solve. Interface to the Mind, so to speak.
- JoelMcCracken 1y agoI don’t disagree, but if you set it up as “ui vs math”, you signify certain things. And based upon your comment it did not say “they mean how the programmers mental model maps to the problem”. In fact I’d say that’s more math like than not
- ontouchstart 1y agoInteresting perspective. I have been intentionally coding with Claude in the past few months and I started to think about programming from problem solving standpoint other than generating artifacts that conform to whatever languages, libraries and frameworks I happen to use to solve the problem at the time. We can call this mental model or not. But it seems to be a different abstraction than we are talking about at PL level. To me, LLM is part of the interface between me and the solution, that is what I mean by UI. The real work is still in my head. PL language is just a medium.
