@URozmej haven't used it but I'd imagine it can free you from dependency versioning problems. as a package owner you could check if your change break any user tests and just push no need to cut a version
we will soon have to accept that we can't digest the scientific progress of AI fast enough, and have to trust their results to stay competitive in bleeding edge fields. ie we can use first and understand later.
@poteto tokens and time still have a cost though. ie the easier the code is to understand, even for an llm, the better. also how do you trust an llm to write performant code when performance is critical, without inspection?
@espressocoder In software! Itβs a programming language used to write and verify math proofs - but can also be used to create proven software. Historically used mostly in very critical software like in airplanes and in military.
@atKenNelson@esrtweet@cloneofsimo I think the great programmers growing up with AI will be the greatest weβve ever seen.
Itβs already an incredible learning resource. Imagine having access to that from childhood. No question will be left unanswered for long. No hypothesis untested.
There's a new kind of coding I call "vibe coding", where you fully give in to the vibes, embrace exponentials, and forget that the code even exists. It's possible because the LLMs (e.g. Cursor Composer w Sonnet) are getting too good. Also I just talk to Composer with SuperWhisper so I barely even touch the keyboard. I ask for the dumbest things like "decrease the padding on the sidebar by half" because I'm too lazy to find it. I "Accept All" always, I don't read the diffs anymore. When I get error messages I just copy paste them in with no comment, usually that fixes it. The code grows beyond my usual comprehension, I'd have to really read through it for a while. Sometimes the LLMs can't fix a bug so I just work around it or ask for random changes until it goes away. It's not too bad for throwaway weekend projects, but still quite amusing. I'm building a project or webapp, but it's not really coding - I just see stuff, say stuff, run stuff, and copy paste stuff, and it mostly works.
