Failing 9 out of 10 times for such simple tasks is indeed puzzling. I have no idea what you're doing to achieve that but I'm impressed.

> Crafted like poetry I find this idea that humans all of a sudden write beautiful code very funny. Most code produced by hand is dirty and filled with ugly hacks. The argument might work against AI art but falls flat for programming.

It's not cheap but it's also not unusual for devs to burn $200 a day on tokens.

The best programmers I know are the ones most excited about it. The mediocre programmers who are toxic gate keepers seem to be the ones most upset by it.

I like that style. It's a very efficient way to convey information and ideas. Reposting it as your own text however is obviously not a good idea since it's so easy to recognize.

And yet people are using it for that, even if it's not rational. I use ChatGPT for some things that would be easier and better to do with other tools out of habit.

Yes, so Electron is naturally the best target for any LLM.

I personally love that phrasing even if it's a clear tell. Comparisons work well for me to grasp an idea. I also love bullet points. So yeah, I guess I like LLM writing.

Just need to point out that the payout is often above 95% at online casinos. As long as it's below 100 the house still wins.

You can fold it, format it, and IDEs preview it. This is like me posting the equivalent CSS in one big line. But even without all that I still prefer this over dealing with cascading styles in stylesheets. Never again.

Jumping up and down in the file is not much better and you still need to come up with names for classes. I want to look at an element and immediately know how it's styled.

This is not the fantastic argument you think it is. 100% is only achievable if you have software engineers at the helm so there's no contradiction here.

Making a profitable product is so much more than just building it. I've probably made 100+ side projects in my life and only a handful has ever generated any revenue.

Exactly. The fact that people laugh at the prediction like it's a joke when I and many others have been at 90%+ for a long time makes me question a lot of the takes here. Anyone serious about using LLMs would know it's nothing con

The discourse around LLMs has created this notion that humans are not lazy and write perfect code. They get compared to an ideal programmer instead of real devs.

LLMs definitely write more robust code than most. They don't take shortcuts or resort to ugly hacks. They have no problem writing tedious guards against edge cases that humans brush off. They also keep comments up to date and obsess ov

No, I don't but it sounds very similar to the the naysayers that have silently moved the goalposts. That said, you're one of the few people in the wild that still claims LLMs are completely useless so I give you that.

So far it has been accurate though. Models have gotten much better than even the most optimistic predictions.
