The analysis is interesting but depends on accepting a premise that is only substantiated by fictional anecdotes.

I think I might have phrased my criticism too sharply, sorry about that. I wouldn’t have commented if I didn’t think you were making a worthy point though! There was an article about malleable software recently that used avocado slicers vs.

I feel like this is doable with a good LLM-assisted coding tool, but it's just a hunch.

Good point, though not all spreadsheets are created equal. Some get quite unmanageable, and that can be a productivity bottleneck over time (unless you're not really adding new use cases)

Excel is one of the most successful pieces of software of all time, so it's an odd choice for a punching bag. Plus, the tone of this article is (unintentionally, I'm sure) off-putting, particularly: > You know what happens wi

This is similar to many experiences I've had with LLM tools as well; the more complex and/or multi-step the task, the less reliable they become. This is why I object to the "graduate-level" label that Sam Altman et al.

How reliable are the results? I can expect a human with graduate-level execution to get this right almost 100% of the time and adapt to unforeseen extenuating circumstances.

That's great to hear - do you know what success rate it might have? I've used scheduled tasks in ChatGPT and they fail regularly enough to fall into the "toy" category for me. But if Operator is operating significantly

I think LLM skeptics and cheerleaders all have a point but I lean toward skepticism. And that's because though LLMs are easy to pick up, they're impossible to "master" and are extremely finicky. The tech is really fun

Okay thanks for your patience. I put together this gist based on an interaction we had with a user last year, I hope it's helpful: https://gist.github.com/bignimbus/457f9ac42f29d0bb6c4eb742ad...

Hi there - I work at Apollo and I'd be happy to help you migrate off our old CLI. That utility was sort of a hodgepodge of tools that we ended up either replatforming to our `rover` CLI or, in the case of code generation, recommending

That's not true (the deprecation part, anyway) and I know of at least one React team member who has spoken publicly to that fact.

With enough ketamine and frog memes you might actually convince a certain senior advisor that's a good idea. Then in a few weeks some credulous Hacker News readers will be there to congratulate them!
