How do you make sure you don't create bugs in the code you write without an LLM? I imagine for most people, the answer is a combination of self-review and testing. You can just do those same things with code an LLM helps you write and at that point you have the same level of confidence.
- xigoi 9mo agoIt’s much harder to understand code you didn’t write than code you wrote.
- saghm 9mo agoYes, that's the fundamental tradeoff. But if the amount of time you save writing the code is higher than the amount of extra time you need to spend reading it, the tradeoff is worth it. That's going to vary from person to person for a given task though, and as long as the developer is actually spending the extra time reading and understanding the code, I don't think the approach matters as much as the result.
