Didnt work for the prod data that the AI nukes in spite of prompts saying "DON'T FUCKING GUESS", just like that in all caps: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47911524

What makes you think it will work for you?

That I don't let agents run wild in a production environment?

You let them write code that runs in prod, which is the same thing with extra steps.

Unless you review that code carefully, and then we're back to the point about it not saving you any cognitive overhead.

Of course it saves me overhead by not having to read all the necessary docs etc myself and just check the resulting code and not having to type all myself.

That link I posted upthread, the "developer" did not read the docs "because the LLM wrote the code" and hence did not realise that the token they had was a full access token, not a limited access token.

You're now boasting that you also don't have to read the docs because the LLM wrote the code?

I mean, it's literally the cause of their irreversible production deletion, in a link that you replied to, and you state you do the same?

It depends on the project. Anything high stake, I verify myself. But also with simple things it is still way faster having a agent dig through it, quote me relevant sections and me evaluating if it is sound, or not.

The “with extra steps” is doing a lot of work in that sentence.
