Using LLM is so tiring. If I wanted to chat all day, I would be an extrovert. I have a genuine query. Are any software engineers getting sane code out of LLM ?

I have a genuine query. Are any software engineers getting sane code out of LLM ?
I struggle to conjure good unity or kotlin code from both paid and self hosted solutions.
- wavemode 2y agoI use AI autocomplete (copilot-type plugins). I could never imagine copy-pasting back and forth with an AI in a chat window. At that point I'd just Google the docs and write the code myself.
- rkunal 2y agoWhich specific plugin and LLM ?
- verdverm 2y agoLLMs can often stitch together information from blogs and stack overflow like sites. You can view it as a better way to search and find answers to your development roadblocks, instead of something that writes code for you. This is where I get value worth paying for, by saving me time of having to navigate multiple search results and piece things together. Many times it is a mix of the two and the LLM, as a starting point, gives me better leads
- welder 2y agoI get prototypes for features [0]. For me, the sweet spot is simple but time consuming tasks where the execution is very clear, or the result is very clear but I have to first read a ton of d3.js docs before implementing it. This stuff LLMs do faster than me typing it. Anything more involved where I myself don't know the final result yet, it's faster to figure out the problem while coding instead of trying to figure it out by describing to an LLM.
