There are some problems that you can't just "make smaller"
Secondly, I write VERY strongly typed code, commented && documented well. I build lots of "micro-pkgs" in larger monorepos. My functions are pretty modular, have tests and are <100-150 lines.
No matter how much I try all the techniques, and my baseline fits well into LLM workflows, it doesn't take away from the fact that It cannot one shot on anything over 1-2k lines of code. Sure, we can go back and forth with the linter until it pumps out something that will compile. This will take a while, in which I could have used something like auto-complete / co-pilot to just write the boilerplate, and fill it in myself in a shorter amount of time than it takes for the agent to reason about a large context.
Then if it does eventually get something "complex" to compile (after spending a ton of your credits/money) Often times, it will have taken a shortcut to do so and doesn't actually do what you wanted it to. Now I can refactor this into something usable and sometimes that is faster than doing it myself. But 8/10 times I waste 2 hours paying money for an LLM to gaslight me, throw out all the code and just write it myself in 1.5 hours.
I can break down a 1-2k line task into smaller prompts tasks too. but sorry I didn't learn to program to become a project manager for a "Artifically Intelligent" machine
Everytime ive tried to do anything of any complexity these things blow up, and i spend almost as much time toying with the thing as it would have taken to read docs and implement from scratch.
learn this way, and they are going to be at such a disadvantage to the people that do it the old fashioned way and dont take shortcuts.
The vast majority of humans are going to offload all their critical think skills to LLMs. I dont want to be friends with those people.
I want to start a blog about these people called "Artifically Intelligent"
This hasn't been virtualized?
