What is this comment about?
- namesbc 9mo agoMeasuring productivity by number of words written per day is as useless of a measure as number of lines of code written per day
- kalkin 9mo agoCharitably I'm guessing it's supposed to be an allusion to the chart with cost per word? Which is measuring an input cost not an output value, so the criticism still doesn't quite make sense, but it's the best I can do...
- anon7000 9mo agoMaybe it was edited. I count at least 6 instances of the word “code”
- Thorrez 9mo agounderyx was doing the ctrl+f on the original (horses) article, not the negative 2000 lines of code article. It's a confusing comment. I misinterpreted it myself too originally.
- pmg101 9mo ago"The LLM can write lines of code, sure, but can it be productive?" is, I think, the implied question.
- chongli 9mo agoThe linked short story is barely 5 paragraphs long. You could have just read it instead of writing an insubstantial remark like this. It’s a fun anecdote about a famous programmer (Bill Atkinson).
- underyx 9mo agoI’ve read it multiple times before, it’s irrelevant in this discussion.
