With Fable being so expensive, and API pricing only, my prediction is that companies will restrict access to only prompts that have been signed off by another engineer/manager. I wonder if PR will come to mean “prompt review” as well as “pull request” 😅

Sorta takes the whole point of the technology away if it doesn’t “save time” tho right? Fable are just an early domino falling as the mass subsidisation comes to an end across the board IMO

I have found that LLMs save me quite a lot of time, personally. I do agree that prices are going up, though. And by a lot.

It feels like it saves a lot of time. But I’ve had it miss, lie, and cheat enough times that my time seems to really be shifted to reviewing and trying to understand code I didn’t write as a defense against that. I listened to a podcast by the author if open code. They sell inference time.

Completely agree. I think I’m probably going to write something on this topic quite soon. I’m coming to the end of a project where I’ve generated tens of thousands of lines of code with AI and painstakingly reviewed all of them. It was an awful slog but necessary. I’m sure few others are doing it.
