The post is about using LOC as a metric when making any sort of point about AI. Nowhere do I suggest someone shouldn't use it, nor that they should expect negative results if they opt to.
- ChicagoDave 7mo agoNo one I’ve ever worked with in 40 years has ever seriously used loc as a measurement of progress or success. I honestly don’t know where this comes from.
- ip26 7mo agoThat’s the odd psychosis here. Everyone knew loc was a terrible measure. But perhaps the instinctual pull was always there, and now that you can generate halfway coherent tens of thousands of loc in hours, our sensibilities are overwhelmed.
- greggyb 7mo agoYes, but it comes up in conversations of LLMs a lot. Thus, the rant in question. I think we are in agreement, or at least we lack disagreement, because that is the only stance I endeavored to take in the post.
