Ok it occurs to me that people use this like they use a spellinng/grammar checker in a word processor.
Spellcheck:
- They have an idea.
- They type up the idea.
- They run spellcheck and it churns through their document and it fixes mistakes that it can see.
- They send it to someone for review.
LLM coding:
- They have an idea.
- They type up the idea.
- LLM churns on the idea and spits out a solution-of-sorts.
- They send it to someone for review.
Regardless of other opinions of it, they see it as a tool that helps take the effort out of getting ideas into reality.
Edit: Oh wait, this is c/programming. Fuck. Ok, give me 5 minutes for me to sharpen my pitchfork and come up with something that matches the groupthink, I'll be right back.
