yeah, technology is always about efficiency

but honestly, the LLM leaves a lot to be desired for programming, it does not have enough depth to really write correct code

probably the clowns at microsoft and google think if they give it more space and feed it more data and throw more GPUs at it, that it will somehow fix this but honestly i doubt they don't already have the alexandria of code already, so it's really a case of diminishing returns

my bet is that eventually the consensus will be that for less experienced coders it makes them 10% more efficient, which is a LOT LESS than the hype makes out

My code base is already beyond the reach of anyone inexperienced, I think. And I'm not a dev, just a programmer.

Large, elegant, systems wouldn't be possible, but those are the ones that are the most-fun to use.

I'm paying for a special coding AI, as well. The quality differences in the offerings is gigantic.

it's my opinion that the main thing that AI will do for more serious programmers is allow them to test and iterate faster, which means they will advance a little faster

refactoring work is the main reason why i have such a fancy keyboard, it takes a LOTTA typing

if i could trust an AI to do this work for me it would speed up my testing/refactorings by enormous amounts, they are the most time consuming parts of the work

Yeah, I'd been procrastinating the refactor, but it just being "supervised typing" took a lot of the tedium out of it.
