Ya this is exactly how I use it, the LLM does everything i don't want to do. Which is basically everything except the exact code im writing. Its very freeing to not have to worry or touch a jira ticket ever again. The LLM just does it for me.
Human written slop is SIGNIFICANTLY more enjoyable than LLM slop, it tells a story no matter how bad the dev is. LLM slop is a tidal wave of meaningless drivel.
Quite a fascinating level of incompetence from openai here. Not unexpected obviously but come on, if you are getting outsmarted by an LLM you deserve it.
Its pretty snappy/responsive for me at least so thats good. Normally LLM slop sites are pretty at first but sluggish as hell. So some level of skill went into this one.
I left because Github became too LLM obsessed and I find that to not align with my personal ideals. Its not really deeper than that. The programming community will continue to splinter more into those that care about the craft and those that only care about outcomes.
It comes down to culture on the team, if you think your leadership will allow that/you won't get a bad perf review for doing it go for it. That is sadly not a lot of peoples reality.
> For the person who rejects PR suggestions, it makes me less inclined to participate in those PRs. Why spend the time doing a thorough review if it's going to get rejected anyways.
This is why you leave blocking suggestions and force the conversation if you think it is important enough.
Yep, without a decent team culture this is what LLMs force, the slop deluge is just overwhelming without leadership asserting "no, stop"
Ultimately you just let bugs through because the alternative is spend an inordinate amount of time communicating with someones claude through PR comments about what the shape should be.
Career was fun while it lasted. I suppose its a blessing a to get to do a job that you enjoyed for as many years as I did.
You get better at proactively setting up feedback loops and the ability to respond quicker.
Saying "im sorry this is broken it will take us a few weeks to fix it" feels infinitely worse than "im sorry this is broken give us a few hours and we'll get it fixed"
I started using zig more heavily for some edge device ML inference projects lately after watching Andrews jetbrains interview and it really really resonating with me on a personal level.
Am also really overall enjoying the language, it def has some rough spots regarding documentation and the stdlib but overall has been very nice to work with in neovim.
I can't throw 400k but I'll go ahead and pledge some dollars towards it as well.
