"Become better at intuiting the behavior of this non-deterministic black box oracle maintained by a third party" just isn't a strong professional development sell for me, personally. If the future of writing software is chasing what a model trainer has done with no ability to actually change that myself I don't think that's going to be interesting to nearly as many people.
- chii 9mo agoWhether it's interesting or not is irrelevant to whether it produces usable output that could be economically valuable.
- bandrami 9mo agoYeah, still waiting for something to ship before I form a judgement on that
- satvikpendem 9mo agoClaude Code is made with Anthropic's models and is very commercially successful.
- bandrami 9mo agoSomething besides AI tooling. This isn't Amway.
- direwolf20 9mo agoSince they started doing that it's gained a lot of bugs.
- manmal 9mo agoShould have used codex. (jk ofc)
- mjr00 9mo agoIt sounds like you're talking more about "vibe coding" i.e. just using LLMs without inspecting the output. That's neither what the article nor the people to whom you're replying are saying. You can (and should) heavily review and edit LLM generated code. You have the full ability to change it yourself, because the code is just there and can be edited!
- bandrami 9mo agoAnd yet the comments are chock full of cargo-culting about different moods of the oracle and ways to get better output.
- dcre 9mo agoI think this is underrating the role of intuition in working effectively with deterministic but very complex software systems like operating systems and compilers. Determinism is a red herring.
