The LLM crowd always sees themselves as messianic and victims, eerly reminding me of the NFT crowd back 1 year ago. I would not be surprised if a lot of those are the same folks. The burden of proof is on the ones saying a new concept/

People who get overly excited from every new shining thing also thought that NFTs and Crypto and web3 (whatever the heck it means) are the next coming of Jesus. If LLM boosters were not so preachy about it, I'd left them off the hook e

Interesting take. I suggest an alternative take: it's a skill issue if LLMs help a developer. If the study showed that experienced developers suffered a negative performance impact while using an LLM, maybe where LLMs shine are with ju

I have, and I have declined them all. Prompting an LLM and pointing it to somebody else's repo is not helpful, it's distracting and disrespectful , and also delusional to think that it helps the maintainers. For a couple of buc

If passivity doesn't work out, there are active ways to achieve fulfillment. I think we should stand up for what is important in life: craft, fulfillment, skills, and actively oppose people, tools and activities that trample on good. S

There is a reason similar approaches are called 'monkey patching'. Just cause you can do something doesn't mean you should. I send thoughts and prayers for the people debugging programs where this is in place.
