#2First I thought CC wrote all its code, but it’s about the engineer’s contributions to CC, which is quite different.

#3I’m nearly the same. Though I do find I’m still writing code, just not the code that’s ending up in the commit. I’ll write pseudo code, example code, rough function signatures then Claude writes the rest.

#4IMHO it's very misleading to claim that some LLM wrote all the code, if it's just a compression of thousands of peoples' codes that lead to this very LLM even having something to output.

Is a human engineer not the same way?

#6I'm sure it's unrelated(right guys? right?) but they had to revert a big update to CC this month.

#7honestly i've been becoming too lazy, I know exactly what I want and AI is at a point where it can turn that into code. It's good enough to a point where I start to design code around AI where it's easier for AI to understand (less DRY, less abtractions, closer to C)
And it's probably a bad thing? Not sure yet.

#8Cool, the person who financially benefits from hyping AI is hyping AI.
What's with the ad here though?

No. LLMs can only reorder what they've seen in training data in novel ways. Humans can have original ideas that aren't in their training data. As a trivial example, John Carmack invented raycasting for Wolfenstein 3D. No matter how much prompting you could have given an LLM it could never have done that because there was no prior art for it to have been trained on.
In pragmatic terms though, innovation like that doesn't happen often. LLMs could do the things that most developers do.
That said, I don't agree with the notion that LLMs are simply generating content based on their training data. That ignores all the work of the AI devs who build systems to take the training data and make something that creates new (but not innovative) things from it.

#10I mean, that’s possible, but the more interesting datapoint would be “and then how much did you have to delete and/or redo because it was slop”
