> People aren't prompting LLMs to write good, maintainable code though. Then they're not using the tools correctly. LLMs are capable of producing good clean code, but they need to be carefully instructed as to how. I recently u

MS Copilot for Android has some annoying UI bugs which they seemingly refuse to fix. The biggest is that the chat area sometimes gets randomly resized so that you can hardly read anything. There is also no way to search past chats. For all

I guess you didn't catch this: > ChatGPT started coaching Sam on how to take drugs, recover from them and plan further binges. It gave him specific doses of illegal substances, and in one chat, it wrote, “Hell yes—let’s go full trip

Giving the LLM tools with an OData query interface has worked well for me. In C# it's pretty trivial to set up an MCP server with OData querying for an arbitrary data model. At work we have an Excel sheet with 40k rows which the LLM wa

Another anecdote: I built my first Android app in less than a dozen hours over the holiday, tailored for a specific need I have. I do have many years of experience with Java, C# and JS (Angular), but have never coded anything for mobile. Ge

I've been a heavy user of the MS Copilot chat app on my Android phone, which I've been pretty happy with as a free basic AI chat option except for some annoying GUI bugs that they will apparently never get around to fixing. But I&

For many, Lua is primarily known as the Roblox language. Pretty impressive that it's the language of use in a game (/set of games) with 380 million monthly active players - currently the most popular in the world.

In certain situations I'd argue it's a calculated risk worth taking. Let's say I'm tasked with adding a much-needed feature to an older legacy application that is built using frameworks and libraries I'm not familia

Just subscribing to OpenAI, Anthropic and Google on YouTube is pretty helpful. They post demos of all major new feature releases that are good to skim through to get a sense of where the frontier is moving (just take all claims about capabi

You are simply deluding yourself if you still refuse to accept that LLMs are capable of some level of reasoning.

The crucial point is that we simply do not know (yet) if there is an inherent limitation in the reasoning capabilities of LLMs, and if so whether we are currently near to pushing up against them. It seems clear that American firms are still

Whatever the true stats for mistakes or blunders are now, remember that this is the worst its ever going to be. And there is no clear ceiling in sight that would prevent it from quickly getting better and better, especially given the curren

Oh yes, all those parameters are absolutely a pain to work with. But it can still be good to have an understanding of what options are abstracted away by fopen etc. Trying to write an app only using <Windows.h> can be a good learning

This model also seems to do a decent job with Angular. When I was using ChatGPT it was mostly stuck in pre-16 land, and struggled with signals etc, but this model seems to correctly suggest use of the latest features by default.

On a side note, I'm excited to see more an more ambitious side projects like these as LLMs empower hobbyists to do more in less time than was ever possible before.

If you can get them to approve GitHub Copilot Business then Gemini Pro 2.5 and many others are available there. They have guarantees that they don't share/store prompts or code and the parent company is Microsoft. If you can argue

I've found they do a decent job searching for bugs now as well. Just yesterday I had a bug report on a component/page I wasn't familiar with in our Angular app. I simply described the issue as well as I could to Claude and as

Currently starting my first project integrating with Azure OpenAI using the new MS C# AI framework. I'm guessing that having experience actually building systems that integrate with LLMs could be a good career move over the next decade
