That's the vast majority of my job and I've yet to find a way to have LLMs not be almost but not entirely useless at helping me with it.
(also, it's filled with that even when you are a single engineer)
- kaydub 9mo agoI hope you realize that means your position is in danger.
- seba_dos1 9mo agoIt would be in danger if LLMs could actually do that for me, but they're still very far from it and they progress slowly. One day I could start worrying, but it's not today.
- selfmodruntime 9mo agoWe have yet to see any large codebase that LLMs work on for a long time.
- rsynnott 9mo agoEh? If all the things that LLMs are not very good at (a long list), they are particularly not good at debugging.
- fragmede 9mo agoAnd even if you are the single engineer, I'll be honest, it might as well have been somebody else that wrote the code if I have to go back to something I did seven years ago and unearth wtf.
