@davidcelis@xoxo.zone this matches my experience.
The thing that particularly made me realise the speed up was illusory was realising I didn’t actually understand the code it had generated. At least, not to the same level I would have done if I’d written it myself: I could see what it did but I don’t think I could have written the same code myself in future.
(Maybe that’s fine if you anticipate using the LLM in future too? 🤷)

@benjamineskola@hachyderm.io Reading “The thing that particularly made me realise the speed up was illusory was realising I didn’t actually understand the code it had generated.” This experience of “not understanding the code generated” is the experience of the majority of people-everyone else, in a business depending on that code you wrote. “So how hard can it be to outsource generating code words”? It’s been done in marketing copy, HR, etc. Why not resource expensive & limited code “copy”? @davidcelis@xoxo.zone
