I feel like it was doing what you're saying about 4-6 months ago. Especially the commenting out tests. Not always but I'd have to do more things step by step and keep the llm on track. Now though, the last 3-4 months, it's wr

Nah, our best devs/engineers use the tools the most. In my real life experience it's been the middling devs that always talk about "ai slop" and how the tools can't do their jobs.

All our best performing devs/engineers are using the tools the most. I think this is something a lot of people are telling themselves though, sure.

Claude is my favorite and at work it's what we officially use. At home I pay for claude by the token but I have a gemini and chatgpt account. So at home I use a lot more gemini cli and codex. For my setup, I make sure I have good markd

It CAN be cheap. I built a clinical pharmacist "pocket calculator" kinda app for a specific function. It was like $.60 in claude credits I think. Built with flutter + dart. It's a simple tool suite and I've only built ou

Yeah, I'm at that stage 6 or 7. I'm using multiple agents across multiple terminal windows. I'm not even coding any more, literally I haven't written code in like 2-4 months now beyond changing a config value or somethin

Yeah, it sounds like "you're holding it wrong" Like, why are you manually tidying and fixing things? The first pass is never perfect. Maybe the functionality is there but the code is spaghetti or untestable. Have another agen

I don't get you guys that are getting such bad results. Are you guys just trying to one shot stuff? Are you not using agents to iterate on things? Are you not putting agents against each other (have one code, one critique/test the

Yeah, I'd say I'm thinking and doing way more. One of my favorite things is that I no longer feel like I need to keep up with "framework of the year" I came up over a decade ago, places I worked were heavy on Java and Sp

It's the hardware. I don't like MacOS, but you can't beat their silicon and the laptops "feel" better in general. I had a system76 for a while and I loved pop OS but that hardware...

I think LLMs are exposing how slapdash many people work when building software.

It feels like most people are exposing how wild west their environments are.

I don't think it's wise to bend to those with FUD. I don't say "my tablesaw and I built this table" I say "I built this table"

You moved out of webdev for 5 years, not everybody else had that luxury. I'm sure it was beneficial to those people to keep up with webdev technologies.

With the right prompt the LLM will solve it in the first place. But this is an issue of not knowing what you don't know, so it makes it difficult to write the right prompt. One way around this is to spawn more agents with specific task

In my experience the CLI tool is part of the secret sauce. I haven't tried switching models per each CLI tool though. I use claude exclusively at work and for personal projects I use claude, codex, gemini.

by kaydub 9mo ago
LOL what an argument. Seeing the replies here it actually doesn't seem like everyone else can do this. Looks like a lot of people really suck at using LLMs to me.

by kaydub 9mo ago
Homey, we're going to be replacing you devs that can't stand to use LLMs lol

I feel like I've been doing this since Sonnet 3.5 or Sonnet 4. I'll clone projects/modules/whatever into the working directory and tell claude to check it out. Voila, now it knows your standards and conventions.

"Claude, clone this repo https://github.com/repo , review the coding conventions, check out any markdown or readme files. This is an example of coding conventions we want to use on this project"

Im so sold on the cli tools that I think IDEs are basically dead to me. I only have an IDE open so I can read the code, but most often I'm just changing configs (like switching a bool, or bumping up a limit or something like that). Ser

That's what things like AWS bedrock are for. Are you worried about microsoft stealing your codebase from github?

I'm at the point where I say fuck it, let them sleep. The tech industry just went through an insane hiring craze and is now thinning out. This will help to separate the chaff from the wheat. I don't know why any company would want

I'm not sure what point you're making here. Tech is rarely the moat, you even get to that point at the end of your post. The "vibe coding" advantage is faster time to market, faster iterations, etc. These things will hel

I think a problem is that a lot of people are working on terrible systems, because honestly, what you're asking doesn't even make sense to me.

by kaydub 11mo ago
Yeah, it's definitely been terrific for figuring out terminology or "the right word" to use for things.

For devs/engineers naysaying LLM tools, which ones have you tried?
