Right. I don't trust LLM's to pick the right pattern. It will pick _a_ pattern and it will mostly sorta fulfill the requirements.
- ekropotin 8mo agoJust pick patterns yourself and let LLM fill them in with colours :)
- amluto 8mo agoToday I asked an LLM (Codex whatever-the-default-is) to implement something straightforward, and it cheerfully implemented it twice, right next to each other, in the same file, and then wrote the actual code that used it and open-coded a stupendously crappy implementation of the same thing right there. The amazing thing is that the whole mess kind of worked.
- RealityVoid 8mo agoRight. Kind of works is their MO at the moment. I do try to keep in mind that just because something sucks at the moment, that doesn't mean that it will always suck (especially when you pour _trillions_ of dollars into it)
- xigoi 8mo agoThe problem is that OpenAI and Claude don’t care if their tools produce good code, as long as people pay for them.
