  • I mean even as it improves I’ll be against it for the same reason I’m against higher level languages. It creates so-called developers that have no idea what they are doing no idea how the code works and no idea what the actual mechanisms behind it are. We’ve done that with web developers treating them like they are actual developers when they have no idea what’s going on and it has led to a situation where just a simple goddamn weather widget needs more than one gigabyte of ram to function. Where as an actual genuine developer that truly understood code could make the exact same thing and use less than 25 MB AI assisted coding is only going to continue to exacerbate this issue with developer knowledge the exact same way upscaling in video games as exacerbated the problem with developers that don’t know how to optimize their game. We are already seeing games coming out that are dramatically worse at optimization and they just expect you to use upscaling as a Band-Aid to fix it and make it vaguely playable


  • What you have described is not coding. You did not create an application, you had it manage a media server. That’s systems administration and yes llms are generally pretty decent at that because the documentation is what they were trained on and it’s all very straightforward if this then that type things.

    When we say AI coding we mean actually creating an application from scratch. It’s a very abstract concept with a crap ton of rules and llms are still very bad at it

    The only way to use it for code is to spend exponentially more time than it would have taken you to just write the code. You basically have to just take the results and bounce them back and forth between different models and be like correct this code back and forth in an endless loop of different models until it finally gets something that’s actually pretty good.

    But the amount of time you spend doing that and getting it to actually put out something useful you could have just done it yourself and then went and played some games with the extra time
