"Readability by humans" may no longer be as important as it once was.
- lionkor 4mo agoMaybe it would benefit Anthropic if AI generated code worked, but wasn't readable by humans. That's a nice moat.
- seanw444 4mo agoProprietary stochastic compilers. Hooray.
- orphea 4mo agoOnly if LLMs will start to output object code, skipping text representation.
- selcuka 4mo agoGood variable names are still useful for LLMs to understand context when refactoring.
- rafram 4mo agoLLMs are already bad at reusing existing logic/resources/components, even when they have obvious names. Unreadable code only makes it worse.
