No. Never.

And neither has a drunken meth addict on an oz of shrooms and ketamine while snorting low-grade fentanyl.

Because I care about my craft.

Understand that no matter how fancy the guess-the-next-token machine is, it will NEVER replace the hard graft of logically deducing how a change is going to percolate througout your codebase.

The programmer's motto should resemble the old Porshe one:

  Logical reasoning: accept no substitute
When an engine can use my codebase to build up an internal logical structure of its cascading effects where potential changes to the code can be what-if'd as a kind of diff, then I will consider it to be worthy of evaluation.

Until then, I feel like an NBA player seeing that their opponent has chosen to only dribble with their ass.

I don't think you folks realize that you're the ones hallucinating. Predicting the next token is never going to be anywhere near 100% successful, especially for interesting projects.

Seriously, folks. I mean, week after week we keep seeing this shit show up here and y'all're like "You got any tips how I can keep smoking meth but not lose my last three teeth?"




tl;tr: get off my lawn.


No, I'm suggesting you not shit on your lawn, because I find my never shitting on my lawn prevents that ugly smell that you keep complaining about.


Well, whatever. I've already shipped several profitable projects which lean heavily on LLMs to fill in my knowledge & skill gaps.

I'm all for trustworth people and trustworthy work. Curation by sensible humans is precisely what all information needs.

I wish you the best of luck!


That is not my website, it's a link aggregator thing and I had the wrong link. Fixed it.
