Oh sweet irony… I remember butting heads with techbros on this very platform about their misguided intuition that people criticizing LLMs are going to be left out (assuming I or others had never tried them).
Yeah, I write enough bugs on my own, I’ll pass on the 41% more, thank you very much.
Sure, I know this study needs to be replicated and should not be considered to be a holy truth… But the issues with the tech do pile up, and they’re not just ethical concerns about resource usage. There’s a new study like this one every week.
At the end of the day, it’s a bit like a good editor setup. Sure, your crazy neovim skills might save you a minute or two here and there. But I’ve met excellent programmers that can code in anything, and be just as efficient as the Neovim nerds.
Programming is not just about writing code, you spend a lot of time thinking about it, which is a huge part of the work.
