@_The_Prophet__ All you are describing is the role of the lead programmer. For a moment we still have that job as humans. Maybe for a few more years.

[jon wetherall @jonwetherall]

@batwood011 It is not an x. We are doing jobs we just couldn’t do before with all the tea in China.

[jon wetherall @jonwetherall]

@EMostaque @karpathy Not sure about grok but chat gpt 5 pro will be 90% of the time. I think that is good enough to be useful

[jon wetherall @jonwetherall]

The anti AI crowd are starting to do my head in. They clearly haven’t tried to solve hard problems with it. It can be totally amazing at both mathematical problems and mundane data translation.

[jon wetherall @jonwetherall]

@GergelyOrosz Yeah. Well after 40 years and at 25 having being a senior programmer at sony. I think i might be ready to know something.

[jon wetherall @jonwetherall]

@GergelyOrosz That is typical wasteful programme comment. Reading and debugging code is the flex. Without that you can only be a junior programmer and will never be happy with ai

[jon wetherall @jonwetherall]

@Scobleizer I just don’t agree. I am getting ai to solve problems i can’t solve. I am a 40 year experienced programmer with a 1st in Maths. This is just wishfull thinking.

[jon wetherall @jonwetherall]

@willcb This isn’t true. Ai make bad code for mis programmers. They make amazing code as long as you make them to make it. People who say this just aren’t using the best models

[jon wetherall @jonwetherall]

@wayve_ai Is this open source. It would be fun to try it out.

[jon wetherall @jonwetherall]

@GaryMarcus You are wrong here ai is pretty good. We are using it for really hard problems all the time. Though not Claude or codex. Gpt 5 pro on thinking mode. The rest are too random. We both complain it is replacing us and it isn’t good enough. Both things are true.

[jon wetherall @jonwetherall]

@girllovescoding Use pro it is worth the 10 min wait

[jon wetherall @jonwetherall]

@alexeykozy Been thinking this for a bit. I end up manually posting state back in the prompt. Be much better if the lmm could look itself

[jon wetherall @jonwetherall]

@sama Programming is a thoughtful activity. Having the extra time to review the suggested code is good not bad. Saying that totally failing to work in cursor. Too much chaff.

[jon wetherall @jonwetherall]

@sama Smarter please. Still gets frustrating even on pro mode how many errors it makes.

[jon wetherall @jonwetherall]

@karpathy Yeah I totally agree. It is really good at a certain class of coding problem. I am not so convinced about it when it isn’t in pro mode. I have taken to working on a couple of jobs at once and letting pro cook in the background.

[jon wetherall @jonwetherall]

@GergelyOrosz It is too chaotic vibe coding. Better to craft stuff with o3 manually function by function. And do the overall design consciously alongside the ai.
