@antirez is a very prominent open source contributor that gets lot of shit done with LLMs. Mitchel Hashimoto is also open about using LLMs to speed up his work. There are some caveats attached: neither of them is doing crazy loops or graphs producing thousands of lines of code, they are both amazing software engineers and they know what they are doing.
- ryoshu 2mo agoYes. Feels like the better you are at your craft the better the tools work.
- disgruntledphd2 2mo agoAI is a power tool/factory with no safety features. Expertise is required to get anything useful from them.
- padjo 2mo agoYep, much like having access to a circular saw won't make me a carpenter, having access to an LLM won't make the average person a software engineer.
- raffael_de 2mo agoyou're moving the goal post as language models and agents aren't marketed as something like circular saw but a team of carpenters that you just tell what you want and they do it for you.
- padjo 2mo agoI never claimed to agree with the marketing.
