I feel like both abstractions and LLMs are time savers, so why not combine both.
Also, if I don't create abstractions and guide the LLM I've found that the codebase starts getting out of my reach. And until LLMs can maintain code ad infinitum I like to understand my code.
I can see why it might not matter in hardcore performance coding though.
- augment_me 2mo agoIf the task is to build something that requires abstractions, sure. But the article in question is in GPU-optimization-land, which happens to be an extremely verifiable and hill-climbable domain. Look at recent GPU programming competitions and find that top-10 solutions are completely generated. In general the field of compilers is in a crisis because why wait for compilations when you can just generate the end result and hill- climb it. I am kind of in the middle of this and I see it going toward LLM-hill-climbers by the day.
