For certain work, we'll have to let go of this desire.
If you limit yourself to whatever you can recreate, then you are effectively limiting the work you can produce to what you know.
- rileymichael 7mo agoyou should limit your output (manual or assisted) to a level that is well under your understanding ceiling. Kernighan’s Law states that debugging is twice as hard as writing. how do you ever intend on debugging something you can’t even write?
- satvikpendem 7mo agoIt's simple, they'll just let the LLM debug it! This is why I believe the need for actually good engineers will never go away because LLMs will never be perfect.
- Tade0 7mo agoExactly. It's a force multiplier - sometimes the direction is wrong. Same week I went into a deep rabbit hole with Claude and at no point did it try to steer me away from pursuing this direction, even though it was a dead end.
- jatins 7mo ago> Kernighan’s Law states that debugging is twice as hard as writing. 100%, but in a professional setting you often work with code _not_ written by you. What if that code is written by someone well above my ceiling?
