Coders needing compilers is a hit on coding because it means coding can't be extended a lot?
I'm just not following the logic at all.
We build vastly more ambitious software today than we did in the 80s
- oblio 2mo agoThat's an intentionally obtuse comment. Compilers are widely available as open source software not coming from companies that need to justify a $1tn valuation ASAP for their development of LLMs. Also the LLM = compiler comparison is generally just ridiculous. Their complexity, both internal and in usage for coding are multiple orders of magnitude apart.
- handoflixue 2mo agoOh yeah, nothing complex about a compiler, that only takes 4 years of college to understand. That's soooo much simpler than typing "make me a Tetris clone". Literally no one has 4 years of experience with LLMs, because they haven't existed for four years. Today's experts are tomorrow's college graduates.
- fragmede 2mo agoChatGPT was released November 30, 2022. GPT-2, before that. So we're right around 4 years.
- handoflixue 2mo agoThus why no one has 4 years of experience yet, yeah.
