But I’ve come full circle and have gone back to hand coding after a couple years of fighting LLMs. I’m tired of coaxing their style and fixing their bugs - some of which are just really dumb and some are devious.
Artisanal hand craft for me!
along with improving my skills in vim, this approach has made me significantly more productive and has made my code much simpler compared to when i was using LLM code generation tools.
there is no shortcut around hard work.
there is no shortcut to thoroughly interrogating the constraints of the software problem at hand.
developers who rely on LLM code generation are poor coworkers because they don't understand what they've written and why they've written it.
