LLMs can do many, many things that I cannot. Their breadth of knowledge dwarfs mine.
- cudgy 9mo agoHow do you verify that the output is correct for these areas that the LLM dwarfs your knowledge?
- monooso 9mo agoIf it's throwaway code to accomplish a one-off task, I just care about whether the task has been accomplished. The method is largely irrelevant. Anything more "serious" (client work, for example) usually falls within my sphere of knowledge, at least to the point where I can accurately review the LLM's solution. My long-standing habit of practising TDD also helps.
