No, it's still very much true. Every now and then I use an LLM to write code and the vast majority of the time it turns out to take just as much time (if not more) than it would've taken to write the code myself.
- hellojimbo 7mo agoYou are either using it wrong or you are writing extremely niche code that has bad llm coverage
- neonstatic 7mo agoor you are in denial about what he is saying
- Zimzom 7mo agoI suspect I fall into the former camp, but I'm not sure where to start when it comes to learning how to use llms "the right way". I'm not a proper software engineer, but I do a lot of scripting and most of my attempts to let a model speed up a menial task (e.g. a small bash or python script for some data parsing or chaining together other tools), end up with me doing extensive rewrites because the model is completely inconsistent in naming convention, pattern reusage, etc.
