Please read more carefully.The LLM technology exists for at least two decades, well actually even more.You know the technology the LLMs are based on (neural networks, machine learning etc). I am not sure if after smartphones, the LLMs will now further impact intelligence of people like you. And take note: I have been one of the early adopters and I am actually paying for usage. My criticism comes from a realistic ass…

Did you use all of your 1-year-junior-dev experience to come to this comment? Or did you ask gemini to sum it up for you?
The point is not the individual tools, which at this point are just wrappers around the major LLMs. The point is the snake oil salesmen of major LLM companies have been telling us for several years now that it is "just about to happen". A new technology revolution. A new post-scarcity world if you will. A tremendous increase in technological output, unleashed creativity etc. Altman routinely blabs about achieving AGI…
They've been saying that kind of shit about everything AI related since fuzzy logic was the next big thing. It will never happen. AI will be used to cut staff and increase the workload of those remaining. The joke is on you for being susceptible to their hype. I use a couple of different tools because they're each good at something that is useful to me. If Jetbrains AI service had a continue.dev/cline like interface…
Well thanks for confirming, you're getting "something" out of each, i.e. minimising mean error, because none of them is the ultimate tool. Copilot price is actually $19 per seat and running my own company, I pay a bit more than $19 bucks, you know for my employees, people like yourself. Why I am fixated on a single tool? Because each of those "tools" are wrappers around one of the major LLMs. I am surprised you don't know that. Copilot, Windsurf, CLine etc. are all just frontends for models by anthropic, google and chatgpt. So the output cannot be, by definition very different.
Well I do not really use it that much to actually care, and don't really depend on AI, thankfully. If they did not mess up the google search, we wouldnt even need that crap at all. But that's not the main point. Even if I switched to cursor or windsurf - aren't they all using one of the same LLMs? (ChatGPT,Claude, whatever..). The issue is that the underlying general approach will never be accurate enough. There is a…
It sounds like you've made up your mind! Best of luck.
:) And you sound like one of the many people I've seen come and go in my career. Best of luck to you actually - if the GenAI bubble does not pop in the next few years (which it will) we'll only have so many open positions for "prompters" to use for building web app skeletons :)
That's funny. HN hates funny. Enjoy your shadowban.
Yeah. I understand that this site doesn’t want to become Reddit, but it really has an allergy to comedy, it’s sad. God forbid you use sarcasm, half the people here won’t understand it and the other half will say it’s not appropriate for healthy discussion…
I like this site, but it can become inhuman sometimes.
People get upvoted for pedantry rather than furthering a conversation, e.g.
No offense but do you believe it when microsoft announces they have solved quantum computing? And to prove it they only need your email address, birth date, credit card number, and rights to first born child?
That scene is changing so quickly that you will want to try again right now if you can. While LLM code generation is very much still a mixed bag, it has been a significant accelerator in my own productivity, and for the most part all I am using is o1 (via the openAI website), deepseek, and jetbrains' AI service (Copilot clone). I'm eager to play with some of the other tooling available to VS Code users (such as cline…
I mean I literally "tried it again" this morning, as a paying Copilot customer of 12 months, to the result I already described. And I do not want to "try it" - based on fluffy promises we've been hearing, it should "just work". Are you old enough to remember that phrase? It was a motto introduced by an engineering legend whose devices you're likely using every day. The reason why "everyone", including myself with 20+…
Copilot doesn't use the full context length. Write scripts to dump relevant code into claude with it's 200K or the new Gemini with even more. It does much better with as much relevant stuff as you can get into context.

But I don't want to write additional scripts or do whatever additional work to make the 'wonder tool' work. I don't mind an occassional rewording of the prompt. But it is supposed to work more or less out of the box, at least this is how all of the LLMs are being advertised, all the time (even the lead article for this discussion).
If you look at the examples given, this is the first time I've felt like AI generated images have passed the uncanny valley. The results are ground breaking in my opinion. How much longer until an AI can generate 30 successive images together and make an ultra realistic movie?
One day you’ll just give it a script and get a movie out
