@RuthMalan@mastodon.social you can still learn interesting things : we use llm to explore code in mob programming. The llm do the heavy greping, the knowledgeable people explain why it is so, sometimes (ok, every time) we find inconsistencies.
Also "agent" are not pure llm anymore. The llm is more like a query engine in natural language that relies on deterministic tools (compilers, etc) to do things. So for our Scala/rust/elm functional programing stack, the guards are ok. It still needs heavy guidance for design, but the mechanical chores are ok.
It doesn't change anything on all other aspects (energy, training, monopoly building, bubble, etc etc). And for the mental model of the code, perhaps we will get there. We are not. Even with its memories and skills and etc, the agent needs to be checked on all like of code.

@RuthMalan@mastodon.social WELL AS I SAID, and as experienced right now, even "frontier" model like opus-5 doesn't have the least f**ing idea of a mental model of the software. You really have to spell it out things that are just obviously (in)consistent. It is very hard working and extremelly capable to follow codes, even between system borders, but it doesn't have any notion of coherence. It's just data and code.
