I always found that if you are good enough at whittling down boilerplate that coding becomes something akin to pure architecture.
I find that mediocre programmers and LLMs are bad at both. They're helpful if you want to shit out some repetitive boilerplate or perform a complex search of some kind but otherwise you're better off without.
- himata4113 2mo agoehh, they're pretty good at automated performance research and bug fixes, especially when spanned across hundreds of them.
- pydry 2mo agobug fixes not so much. when I encounter a bug the first thing I do is ask an LLM and not only do they usually fail to get the correct solution, they often slap virtual duct tape on it which makes other bugs more likely.
- himata4113 2mo agofeels like a harness issue, bug fixes work out fine with omp.sh as long as it can be tested properly. Untestable things tend to lead to hallucinated results though.

- himata4113 2mo agoI doubt it, a lot of what I use llms for is on the very edge of what these models are trained for.
