I find it fascinating to read comments from a lot of people who support open models without guardrails, and then to read this thread with seemingly the opposite sentiment in overwhelming majority. Is it just two different sets of users with

Right, but the makers of the murder weapon aren't culpable. Or do you think a Microsoft exec should go to jail every time someone uses it to write a death threat?

You can use esbuild to build your entire project with a single command. Node has a built in test runner. You only need the complexity because you're convinced you need it.

And also a build pipeline doesn't have to be difficult to write. You can do it in like 50 lines of code and esbuild. And then you get to bundle your CSS, use React or whatever, Typescript, etc.

I'm sure there is plenty of language parsers written in Haskell in the training data. Regardless, the question isn't if LLMs can generate code (they clearly can), it's if agentic workflows are superior to writing code by hand

There is evidence that LLM usage is actually making people dumber. I'm not sure if they've figured out the cause/effect or not but that's enough evidence for me to avoid them if I can. They can be useful for some stuff b

This is a complete fantasy. If LLM's got to this point of sophistication there would be a total revolution in almost every industry. Society would be radically different. Since LLM's are nowhere near this, I'm not so sure we

Ok but you didn't ask any questions in the transcript you provided. Maybe that one was an outlier? In order to learn you generally need to actually do the thing, and usually multiple times. My point is that it's easy to use an AI

Mmm, I do a lot of frontend work but I find writing the frontend code myself is faster. That seems to be mostly what everyone says it's good for. I find it useful for other stuff like writing mini scripts, figuring out arguments for co

With all due respect you were reading, not learning. It's like when people watch educational YouTube videos as entertainment, it feels like they're learning but they aren't. It's fine to use the LLMs in the same way that

Perhaps it is a skill issue. But I don't really see the point of trying when it seems like the gains are marginal. If agent workflows really do start offering 2x+ level improvements then perhaps I'll switch over, in the meantime I

I would never suggest that only I know better. Plenty of other people are observing the same thing, and there is also research backing it up. Maybe shocked is the wrong term. Surprised, perhaps.

That sounds reasonable to me. AI is best at generating super basic and common code, it will have plenty of training on game templates and simple games. Obviously you cannot generalize that to all software development though.

No but I don't use it to generate code usually. I gave agents a solid go and I didn't feel more productive, just became more stupid.

How are you using AI to learn? I see a lot of people say this but simply reading AI generated overviews or asking it questions isn't really learning.
