Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

At work I use gpt to give me snippets of code (not in my ide, I use neovim btw), check my stuff for typos/logical errors, suggest solutions to some problems, debugging. I was learning programming on my own in 2010s, and this is a lot faster than crawling over wikis/stackoverflow (albeit probably makes me dumber).

Anyone who says llm will replace programmers in 1-2 years is either stupid or a grifter.

I generally try to avoid it, as a lot can be learned from trying to fix weird bugs, but I did recently have a 500 line soup code vue component, and I used chatgpt to try to fix it. It didn't fix the issue, and it made up 2 other issues.
I eventually found the wrongly-inverted angle bracket.

My point is, its useful if you try to learn from it, though its a shit teacher.

a truism, but not one I believe many of our esteemed promptfuckers could appreciate
