I’m confused. Is your point that programmers are generally worse than plumbers and HVAC installers? People except software to be trash and barely usable, but have higher expectations for plumbing and HVAC?
Some bricklaying may be art. Not all bricklaying is art.

LLMs can provide the intentions of the code they write. To say they can’t is saying that they can’t fix bugs, which they very obviously can do effectively. So, just tell them to write the intention in the way you want…
Fix your harness. Provide rules, format, and good examples. You probably had those for the humans in your team for when new hurts join, right? Just direct your LLMs to them and you’ll have a much better experience. Just…
This is certainly a problem with out-of-the-box usage. But easily overcome. Spend time updating your harness. This is not a hard problem to solve and there are many helpful guides out there. We basically took our…
You need a better harness. LLMs are significantly better at this than humans. Add it as a step in your LLM process and your documentation will always be up to date.
I personally find it unbelievable that you have access to all of the public GitHub projects available and still think the typical developer writes good code.
We’ve been tracking performance and bugs for years. Including commits those bugs were introduced in. So when LLM-generated code started working its way into our codebases, we have the before and after. And even…

This is such an ironic blog post it hurts.
What is snarky about that? The answer is so that they can charge different prices per credit. If you buy low amounts, they can charge one price. If you buy in bulk, they can offer a discount. The usage is the same, but…
I would love to hear more about this!
Don’t worry. This advice has been going around for much more than 2 months, including links posted here as well as official advice from the major companies (OpenAI and Anthropic) themselves. The tools literally have had…

I lived in such a place and never had power outages. Mostly because the power company came through on a regular basis (two years or so) and chopped down and trees that could cause problems. Some areas definitely looked…
Who paid the $20k?
I’ve had a cheap (was $15) single salad spinner, for about 15 years. Decent amount of usage in that time, but not professional level. So my question to you is: what the heck are you doing to your salad spinners?
All of this was on a Bambu A1 Mini? These are the types of things I want to print. My Ender 3 was so finicky, I only got a few out before I gave up.
I’ve tried most of the coffee making tools and fads, including the above mentioned recipe. I’ve spent thousands and hours and hours of time chasing the feeling others like you describe. It was so easy for me to go back…
I wish I could read like you then because it’s distracting to me, and clearly many others, when people write like that.
I really wish your comment also had some capitalization and punctuation so it was easier to parse. Even ChatGPT had different interpretations. But PT (sorry, I guess it’s stylized, pt) has written like this for years,…
