> Even before LLMs came along a lot of hobbyists were using high level languages, linters, IDEs etc. instead of handcrafting assembly or machine language. Those tools increased the capability of hobbyists to build what they find interest

> targeted usage for tedium that has very little value overall The entire point of the article was the hobby is ascribing value to that tedium that the LLM is removing.

Ive really been enjoying waymo, ill pay a premium over anything else for them.

Wow i made it like 1 paragraph in before i had to bow out of the slopfest, tough scene.

God the "compiler abstraction" argument is so tired, why does anyone even remotely thinks its accurate anymore

Why?

Ya this is exactly how I use it, the LLM does everything i don't want to do. Which is basically everything except the exact code im writing. Its very freeing to not have to worry or touch a jira ticket ever again. The LLM just does it

This is very trivial to implement in any serious tool/workflow. I have a version of it in my pi nvim setup.

"context engineering" as a term will never not make me laugh.

Human written slop is SIGNIFICANTLY more enjoyable than LLM slop, it tells a story no matter how bad the dev is. LLM slop is a tidal wave of meaningless drivel.

I looked into contributing but found the existing ecosystem to be very confusing and convoluted.

Quite a fascinating level of incompetence from openai here. Not unexpected obviously but come on, if you are getting outsmarted by an LLM you deserve it.

Ive typed out several things, none of them really capture succinctly the level of disdain I have for people that this article is describing. I cannot fathom the idea that one is warping their work on a given engineering problem around the a

Its pretty snappy/responsive for me at least so thats good. Normally LLM slop sites are pretty at first but sluggish as hell. So some level of skill went into this one.

I mean, I am no LLM lover but in the possible "success case" there are also many many other cool/good to humanity use cases. Whereas ads are almost exclusively negative.

The fact this is controversial is wild and a grim sign for an already struggling industry.

I left because Github became too LLM obsessed and I find that to not align with my personal ideals. Its not really deeper than that. The programming community will continue to splinter more into those that care about the craft and those tha

It comes down to culture on the team, if you think your leadership will allow that/you won't get a bad perf review for doing it go for it. That is sadly not a lot of peoples reality.

Yep, without a decent team culture this is what LLMs force, the slop deluge is just overwhelming without leadership asserting "no, stop" Ultimately you just let bugs through because the alternative is spend an inordinate amount of

You get better at proactively setting up feedback loops and the ability to respond quicker. Saying "im sorry this is broken it will take us a few weeks to fix it" feels infinitely worse than "im sorry this is broken give us a

Just to be clear, i also find the "determinism" points to be a bit misleading if the intent is accurate, obviously there has been some level of non determinism in compilers and computing forever. I think the better word is "p

I despise this retort that i see constantly, in no way shape or form is it remotely an accurate analogy. They are two completely different things and its dishonest to attribute the two together.
