"There are so many issues and my mental model of the codebase has severely degraded." Not only that, the less coding you do in general? Guess what, fixing issues that in the past wouldve been a doddle (muscle memory) become less h

Congrats. Now post this more often so the bozo's who downvote posts that push-against pro-LLM stuff f-off. I came to the same conclusion when producing a video with Grok. Did the job but utterly painful and it was definitely very costl

Stop talking sense bro, you'll get downvoted. If you look at my post history I'm essentially saying the same stuff lol.

Lol. Im a CEO and Ive re-vamped my hiring process that has nothing to do with writing code. I test to see the way people think now. People like you would pass my interview.

Wrong person you're quoting but he did not foresee the benefit of leveraging the work of others to extend and build-on-top.

There's that but youre missing a lot of variables. E.g. if one of you had perfect sleep and the other didn't the individual with perfect sleep will perform better for longer. I don't get why people try to simplify - you'

"I think a lot of people will not like to hear this..." Lol why? You've been suckered in and will eventually crash and burn. But carry on. Just remember when things go wrong - it's your ass on the line.

Ok fella. But show me something then. This is all talk. Personally I have been able to produce a very good output with Grok in relation to a video. However, it was insanely painful and very annoying to produce. In retrospect I would've

By the time that's obvious investors in the market would've priced that in. Again repeating myself here.

Prototyping is a perfectly fine use of LLMs - its easier to see a closer-to-finished good than one that is not. But that won't generate the returns Model producers need :) This is the issue. So they will keep pushing nonsense.

The benefits of AI either accrue toward incremental revenue-generation or cost-saving. Its not rocket science to measure actually. The issue is most people dont know how to think properly to invent the right proxies.

Exactly lol. The iPod project was done in months, not years. Im convinced most people aren't as good at programming / focusing on the right stuff as they claim.

Lol yeah. Much of the issues re. lack of productivity comes from management who dont have the ability to focus+clarity+confidence of where to go and also create the environment to get the max out of people.

And the investors were correct to crush the stock price down to 90-odd dollars. Which finally forced Zuck to face the music. This place is full of bozos.

Finally, a fella who gets it. Apple has already shown this decades ago - they got the iPhone and iPod developed and out the door in relatively short-time scales given the impact of the products on the world. Once you know what you want, exa

You prove my point. Guys like you dont get it. You think OAI, Amazon etc can freely put large amounts of money into this for 5-10 years? Lmao - delusional. Investors are impatient. Show huge jumps in revenue this year or you no longer have

You can't be a manager without anyone to manage. There's a lot of perverse interests and incentives at play.

Youre not missing anything. Humans are funny. But most cant seem to understand that the tool is a mirage and they are putting false expectations on it. E.g. management of firms cutting back on hiring under the expectation that LLMs will do
