Programming is the modelling of entire landscapes in one’s head: - terrain right in front of you and under foot - and terrain obscured by buildings and trees (mostly buildings these days) - and terrain visible but across a river - and terrain over the horizon. A good sense of direction and gradient needed. LLMs have no sense of direction, though their vendors do, and I don’t want to traverse the denuded landscapes they’re selling https://mastodon.social/@urlyman/116623150311153409
