@drikanis@mstdn.ca @ludicity@mastodon.sprawl.club That’s just people? LLMs have allowed me, somebody without much depth in devops/AWS, to be able to onboard myself onto any task my team is going.
You can use these things constructively but that doesn’t grant immediate slot machine rewards.

@alper I'm guessing you're talking about using AI tools to tell you things about parts of the code base you're new to? If so, this has been a big help for me too as someone who just started a new job. Cursor has been my tool of choice for that lately. It can give links between files and then I can go look at the files it found, using my ~8 years of professional experience to read that code myself and come to my own conclusions. I agree that we don't have to pick either not using LLMs at all or using them to do our thinking for us. It's a spectrum and there are plenty of ways to use them on that spectrum.
