Ha! Same! Still feels like the best way to go about it, really. I know the dream is to one day remove humans from the loop... but I'll enjoy the dialectic while it still seems the most productive!
- vadansky 4mo agoSame, I like to call it rubber duck coding (now the duck talks back!) Edit: Now I want an LLM connected rubber duck with a speaker/microphone that sees your screen
