"How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard" - Winnie the Pooh

The extended title is more like: "AI Coding will Prevent Expertise if We Continue To Focus on Code Generation rather than Socratic and Educational Workflow Design" ...but I had to …

Yeah...I know I should be massively impressed, and I am to a degree, but isn't this what we should expect? LLMs can pick up on patterns that no human can see. In that sense, they r…

Correctamundo. That's EXACTLY what I just wrote about. And how we'll create the next generation of people who know how to evaluate responses when we're creating a generation of peo…

Uh, he's saying it because the kid is overly confident and acting as if he knows Williams' life because he saw a painting and drew a bunch of conclusions, so he was providing a lif…

I actually agree with you; I definitely feel I'm able to use LLMs to learn and explore concepts, but I've always been a self-taught and highly motivated person in the first place. …

Oh ho ho....looks like I'll need to update my essay! The evidence is mounting higher and higher. https://larsfaye.com/articles/agentic-coding-is-a-trap

This is exactly how I feel. I've begun referring to them as a "Delegation Layer", which is a new addition to the stack.

Not only can it not describe its reasoning, it can't "remember" if you ask it later; it can only observe what is. Nor can it be consistent; I've had it shift reasoning numerous tim…

Yes—this is the part that nobody is telling you. That's the real shift that is happening.

The "don't look at the code" movement is a fad that we simply have to go through to prove that the real problems were never obvious, but lie in the subtle nuances and interplay bet…

I do agree with this. I was able to get exactly what I needed even out of GPT3.5. If you put enough parameters and examples, along with a real solid system prompt and (if you can) …

> The claim you should know everything about everything you work on is an intensely naive one. Author here. Where did you find I was stating that? As other users said, that's not a…

Author here. Thank you. I absolutely was not stating that, and I don't think its possible or necessary to "know everything", but there's certainly a movement in the industry (and n…

Yeah, I can't help but chuckle when people say "Well, humans make mistakes, too". That's what we're spending 7+ TRILLION dollars, destroying ecosystems to build datacenters, and ru…

Author here.... "An increase in the complexity of the surrounding systems to mitigate the increased ambiguity of AI's non-determinism" I'm referring to the layers of review that ar…

Author of the article here (had no idea someone shared it! Just found out through analytics). I actually mention this exact thing it the article under the section "LLMs accelerate …
