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 6mo 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 6mo 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.
