My biggest takeaway from “LLMs are useful for some aspects of writing software, and lots of people like it” is still that the existing tools we made for writing software are bad. 🧵👇

My son is learning software development and is using AI for some help. He’s learning that you can’t trust the code is creates to work or even compile. Asking AI for help is like asking a drunk co-worker for help.

I had a co-worker who would come back to work from lunch drunk a lot. I complained to our supervisor who said ‘Jerry has issues so just ignore him’. I went to the manager and complained and he said ‘He seems to be getting the job done, ignore him’. I got laid off for complaining too much.

This also sounds like AI!
