Why would you wait for dust to settle down? Just curious. Productivity gains are real in current form of LLMs. Guardrails and best practices can be learnt and self imposed.

> Productivity gains are real in current form of LLM

I haven't found that to be true

I'm of the opinion that anyone who is impressed by the code these things produce is a hack

I just started a project, they fired the previous team, I am possitive they used AI. The app is full of bugs and the client will never hire the old company again.

Whoever says is time to move to LLMS is clueless.

Humans are very capable of creating bugs. This in itself is not a tell.

"Because one team doesn't know how to use LLMs, I conclude that LLMs are useless."

Can you show any product created by a those imaginary teams using LLMS?

You proved his point bro. That site does not even load.

Shrug, loads fine for me.

That site is in Cloudfare am I right?

Cloudfare gets blocked in some parts of Europe on the weekend... Only the DNS, not really blocked.

Football is more important.

I think there's an issue with IPv6 resolution, but I do think it's a Cloudflare issue, as they're the ones who insert that IPv6 hostname I can't resolve. This doesn't happen with any of my other sites, though, it's odd.

If it works tomorrow you know why.

They block random Cloudfare IPs related with sport streaming sites.

Are you in Spain? I've seen it in Greece, but only on one of my devices.

I am not in Spain. But I am Spanish. I think it gets blocked in Spain and in Italy.

I am talking about real work. Who is going to pay me to build that?

I have not even seen a CRUD app with real users wrote using AI tools.

Whenever I hear about productivity gains, I mentally substitute it for "more time to play video games left in the day" to keep the conversation grounded. I would say I rather not.

If you have two modes of spending your time, one being work that you only do because you are paid for it, and the other being feeding into an addiction, the conversations you should be having are not about where to use AI.

Your "productivity gains" is just equal to the hours others eventually have to spend cleaning up and fixing what you generated.
