@troed@swecyb.com @Retreival9096@hachyderm.io I think the problem is the "wo wo" crowd, raising LLM:s to the skies. That's just ridiculous.
Yes, they do some things well, yes, they might save me time on boilerplate or easy stuff, but no, they will not make me 10x faster.
They might make me 5%-15% more productive or so. But yes... I am not a programmer, but a devops guy.
I do know programmers though, and the most brilliant of them also are in the 5%-15% range.

@h4890@merovingian.club Exactly this. An interesting thing is that it allows someone unskilled to perform a task they wouldn't have been able to do at all otherwise. As long as they don't think the solution is as good as if someone senior in the subject had made it I think it's all good. Myself I use the regular 80/20 rule of thumb. The LLM helps a lot with 80% but it's my input that decides whether the final 20% have good quality or not. @Retreival9096@hachyderm.io
