Using AI tools makes me think harder.
- acosmism 10mo agoharder != better
- sothatsit 10mo agoMy thinking is definitely better. I spend more time worrying about the specific architecture, memory layout, GPU features, etc. to come up with ideas for optimisations, and I think less about specific implementation details. I’ve gotten a better mental model of our code faster because of this. I have also found substantial speed ups by thinking about the problem at a higher level, while iterating on implementation details quickly using Opus.
