I don't need to understand the theory of mind, I just tell it what to compose. Writing the actual lines after that takes longer than not writing them!

- olig15 10mo agoWhat do you mean you don’t need to understand? So what do you do when there’s a bug that an LLM can’t fix? If your bottleneck is typing the code, you must be a junior programmer.
- peteforde 10mo agoThey said that they don't need to understand the LLM's theory of mind. I think that's crystal clear. If there is a bug, it's vastly more likely that Opus 4.5 will spot it before I can. Do you know one of the primary signifiers of a senior developer? Effective delegation. Typing speed has nothing to do with any of this.
- miningape 10mo agoIt's not about understanding the LLM's theory of mind - the direct quote was > Understanding the theory of mind that composes the system i.e. the logic underpinning how the system works
- peteforde 10mo agoYou are one of several people in this thread who clearly skipped their Descartes readings.
- stavros 10mo agoI don't need to understand the theory of mind because I don't have the LLM design the code, I tell it what the design is. If I need something, I can read the functions I told it to implement, which is really simple.
