The terminal really is sort of the perfect interface for an LLM; I wonder whether this approach will become favored over the custom IDE integrations.

as the models get better, IDEs will be seen as low level

Wait you write your code by hand??? ewww...

What??? It’s literally the worst interface

Do you not want to edit your code after it’s generated?

Sure, in VS Code. Or Xcode. Or IntelliJ/GoLand/RubyMine.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Also I don't trust it. They touched on that I think (I only skimmed). Plus you shouldn't need an LLM to understand a codebase. Just make it more understandable! Of course capital likes shortcuts and hacks to get the next feature out in Q3.

There is no amount of static material that will perfectly conform to the shape and contours of every mind that consumes that static material such that they can learn what they want to learn when they want to learn it. Having a thing that is interactive and which can answer questions is a very useful thing. A slide deck that sits around for the next person is probably not that great, I agree. But if you desperately wa…

The problem is if no one can describe something with words without an LLM to scour though every line of code it probably means it can't make sense to humans.

Maybe that is the idea (vibe coding ftw!) but if you want something people can understand and refine it is good to make it modular and decomposable and understandable. Then use AI to help you with the words for sure but at some level there is a human that understands the structure.

This article is inspiring. I haven’t had the moment to get my head out of the Cursor + biz logic water until now. Very cool to think about LLMs automagically creating changelogs, testing packaging when dependencies are bumped, forcing unit tests on features.

Is anyone aware of something like this? Maybe in the GitHub actions or pre-commit world?

>Claude code feels more powerful than cursor, but why? One of the reasons seems it's ability to be scripted. At the end of the day, cursor is an editor, while claude code is a swiss army knife (on steroids). Agreed, and I find that I use Claude Code on more than traditional code bases. I run it in my Obsidian vault for all kinds of things. I run it to build local custom keyboard bindings with scripts that publish scr…

The thing is, Claude Code only works if you have the plan. It’s impossible to use it on the API, and it makes me wonder if $100/month is truly enough. I use it all day every day now, and I must be consuming a whole lot more than my $100 is worth.

One thing that I am not liking about the LLM world is that it seems to be tilting several things back in favor of BigCorps.

The open source world is one where antirez, working on his own off in Sicily, could create a project like Redis and then watch it snowball as people all over got involved.

Needing a subscription to something only a large company can provide makes me unhappy.

We'll see if "can be run locally" models for more specific tasks like coding will become a thing, I guess.

If people would be as patient and inventive to teach junior devs as they are with llms the whole industry would be better of.

You pay junior devs way way way more money for the privilege of them being bad. And since they're human, the juniors themselves do not have the patience of an LLM. I really would not want to be a junior dev right now... Very unfair and undesirable situation they've landed in.

> You pay junior devs way way way more money for the privilege of them being bad.

Oh, it's worse than that. You do that, and they complain that they are underpaid and should earn much, much more. They also think they are great, it's just you, the old-timer, that "doesn't get it". You invest lots of time to work with them, train them, and teach them how to work with your codebase.

And then they quit because the company next door offered them slightly more money and the job was easier, too.
