Speaking of which, why aren't the LLMs solving these low level plumbing problems for us yet?

- croemer 10mo agoBecause LLMs mostly follow historical practice. And examples for bad error handling are more common (and easier) than good error handling.
- amelius 10mo agoI'm pretty sure an LLM will be able to handle an instruction such as: "Wherever exceptions are thrown, add as much contextual information to the exceptions as possible. Use class RichException<Exception> to store the extra information". Etc. etc.
- croemer 10mo agoSure, but writing and maintaining such instructions is also work. And not something one thinks about usually until the debugging session with insufficient errors.
