As soon as you pay attention, you're reduced to screaming at the screen to SLOW DOWN, SO I CAN READ THE CODE.

But then you lose the speed factor. You're still glad you did it, as the code invariably has some WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK? bits in it, but it's arguably slower than just writing it yourself. And you immediately start forgetting how to write it yourself. Your brain quickly removes those faculties because they are expensive and have fallen in disuse. Literally draw a blank, when you want to print a line to the console.

Also, just... You can't even imagine the sheer tedium of auditing someone else's code, full-time. Just reading generated code, all day, every day.

Gonna have to come eat some schweinshaxe and drink lagers with you sometime.

Align it with a #PurpleKonnektiv meetup and meet the whole crew.

I would love to do that. If only it didn't cost a year's college tuituin to round trip that thang from the US.

i treat the LLM as a junior, because it makes mistakes at least as much as a junior, maybe more. but i also treat it as a teacher, because it can learn fast from other stuff that i watch it and go "ohhhh right, that's how it works" and bing new lightbulb lights up
