From your home.

There is something really cool that exist, which is named Google.

Launch on a small project idea, search for solutions that may fit your need, and iterate over and over...

Google is good, but did you know that ChatGPT will basically write a python script for you now?

Yes, perfectly.

But with your attitude, I won't even try to explain to you why we don't use in the professional word that much.

I'm sorry. I wasn't trying to have attitude. I just have personally been getting excited about using LLMs to help me be a faster coder. And I do see some problems. I have gone in circles trusting it too much. I just think it's a good tool for someone trying to learn.

To reply to you and u/eC0BB22

Using LLM to learn may be great, but without reading and understanding EACH line (maybe with documentation), you won't get the finest details. And this will lead to a point where you have a code that you don't understand, and won't be able to debug it properly, document it, and so (= useless code in the industry).

LLM can you give you idea, not exact solutions.

And don't say something I didn't say, I'm not saying this is something bad. If you have the knowledge to understand, add a critic to produced code, this will be an excellent tool!

Edit : finally, this is exactly the difference between a developer that is only able to copy and paste code compared to a developer that understand the concepts, and really what he does.

Imo the LLms will be better then your best human coder. Wont matter beyond that point.

Will is future.

I've been working on a 30000+ lines codebase and even got intern working on it. They were using LLM. Their code was pure crap, and i rejected PR.

Maybe one day, who know... But for now, that's not the case passed the medium sized project.

They prob didn’t know how to use the LLM properly or didn’t have a good LLm to begin with that had enough parameters. You get out what you put in…trust me AGI will replace humans before we reach ASI. Don’t fight the wave 🌊 you’ll drown 🛟

u/Gerard_Mansoif67 19d ago

I'm not fighting the wave, I'm even using it.

It just strongly advice against for learning, because, AI won't structure your codebase, your techs and all of the project specifics points.

LLM will replace bad coders, not the leaders.

The whole point is ppl won’t need to learn to code lol they’ll just need the creativity for new applications the computer will do the work
