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.

I couldn’t even finish the first sentence of that article. Ed’s writing isn’t for me I’m afraid.

Yeh I get that. He actually does the work though unlike the rest

I can believe it for sure. And I’ve no doubt I’ll find myself nodding along to a subset of the points he’s making. But I can’t get through the smugness of it all. Gives me Jordan Peterson or Richard Dawkins vibes. It is genuinely funny to watch people melting down over the price increases, tho.

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.

The issues only appeared during load testing where I’m trying to squeeze as much performance as possible out of a single instance of the server. Once I asked the right question I got the, “well yes that would be a best practice.” Despite lots of plan mode and always asking for best practices. Ugg

Yes! For me, for my card game engine, I’m in the middle of a rewrite by hand. Claude painted itself into a corner, which I went along with, I didn’t ask the magic right question. Despite reading every line along the way i missed this. I also don’t feel like I “owned” the code.
