    Yup, the unpredicable nature of their unreliability is what makes it very tiresome to work with LLMs sometimes. With people, you kinda learn their strength and weakness. With LLMs …

    You can't talk about delegation without talking about what and who you're delegating. Delegating a demo or an exploration to a junior is fine if you can help them with feedbacks an…

    Interesting as I reach a similar pov. I just started with experimenting with the following workflow with Claude Code: - get a plan for whatever I want to do, iterating in plan mode…

    How is getting proof one doesn't understand going to help build safer system? I want to believe formal methods can help, not because one doesn't have to think about it, but because…

    Well, it does tell us something if they limit screen time like they limit sugar but don't limit book time. I'm sure almost no family have an upper limit on book time. Thus aiming f…

    It depends on their sleep habit, work-life requirements and compensation when they need to be on-call. When you get a fatter check because your code break, the incentives are not i…

    Vendoring means you don't have to fetch the internet for every build, that you can work offline, that you're not at the mercy of the oh-so-close-99.999 availability, that it will k…

    Because people only quote it partially. > We should forget about small efficiencies, say about 97% of the time: premature optimization is the root of all evil. Yet we should not pa…

    The maintainer explained the reasoning for closing the issue quite well in a comment.

    There is always more money elsewhere. But once you have a home, enough to raise your family and save for later, when is enough enough? And is the work fun? Fulfilling? Money is a m…

    Not everyone is motivated by the highest wage they can get. Good enough can be good enough and then aim for fun/interesting/challenging/fulfilling work instead of a fatter check.

    IMHO, the real problem is that they create an even greater dissonance between online life and IRL. Think about dating apps, pictures could be fake, and now words exchanged can be f…

    This. For me, navigating with shortcuts feels like I can keep my inner monologue, it is part of it, maybe because I can spell it? Dunno, but reaching for the mouse and navigating a…

    My gut feeling is that, without wrestling with data structures at least once (e.g. during a course), then that knowledge about complexity will be cargo cult. When it comes to funda…

    Interesting argument. But isn't the corrections of those errors that are valuable to society and get us a job? People can tell they found a bug or give a description about what the…

    It's ego won't get in the way but it's lack of intelligence will. Whereas a junior might be reluctant at first, but if they are smart they will learn and get better. So maybe LLM a…

    It's like pot. Back in the day, it was much less concentrated and less dangerous than what you can get today.

    It's much easier to forbid something to a subset of the population than to the population at large.

    Imho it's because you worked before asking the LLM for input, thus you already have information and an opinion about what the code should look like. You can recognize good suggesti…

    Have this shortcomings of llms been addressed by better models or by better integration with other tools? Like, are they better at coding because the models are truly better or bec…
