depends how long conversation gets and he will still ignore your instructions randomically. I think shorter sessions are better, I do have a similar prompt saved on the memory of the agent and way more times that I can tolerate, he candidally ignores it

You're welcome
And thay is a regression and a mistake. Putting touch screens on cars was a big mistake, children will struggle to drive and turn on/off something as we do, you can't have reliable touch during vehicle movement. It's just stupid. I won't be surprised when regulators will requires some, not all, appliances to have hard buttons. Espacially cars. My car touch screen sometimes suffer a 1 second delay between touches, that's just bad product development, no children will adapt to that, only if braindead
> They have raised upper management’s expectations for team output.
That is the worse part, it's not great at all dealing with this kind of expectations
You can still use it like this, it's a super power, using it as a tool it's like wearing the iron man suite. Imo using it to 100% write the code it's like telling bumb ai iron man what to do
Not egocentric but surely full of himself
> This is why yesterday, on X, I said that I believe many programmers at this point have less impact they could have because they look at the code. I truly believe into that.
I have great impact because I own the code and I read it when I generate it not the contrary
> How are you supposed to review 5k lines of code every day?
I have the feeling we will just lose the battle and start to randomly die inside crushing planes or sinking ships thanks to unreviewed code. Or lose money, or whatever you can think of many examples.
> The working day is 8 hours. If you read the code, it is a tradeoff. You are doing less of what today is the most important part of your job, that is, asking yourself: what I’m doing with this software? What are the new directions I want to take? And also, think at new ideas, features, optimizations tricks. And doing a lot of QA.
Guess what when we hand coded we did all these points every day, now we can't because we need to go 100x faster, understand nothing that came out from the slot machine and, cherry on top, we should focus on QA instead of pushing high quality code first.
I'm really worried by the direction the industry is taking and how dangerous these "influencers" are, especially in Italy where I see he has a big follow up.
We lied on a mountain of slop before LLMs sure but at least some systems were still reliable, today you can already see nothing is reliable not even the simplest service like Spotify, programmers are already not verifying the output.
> we are not going back to hand-writing these functions
do you really think there isn't a good chunk, if not the majority outside some bubbles, of developers that still hand code? Crazy to hear, I bet you're not a programmer
But does the neural net ;)
Sorry what people would tolerate? Go look around and ask people, friends and family. They all hate slow bloated software, it costs us dunno how much in time and productivity. With the advent of LLMs it only got worse not better
Yes but no? It really just depends on the amount of elm in the training data and rlhf. I agree that structured frameworks/languages have codebases more similar to one another and that would ease generation. But that alone won't work and usually dev adoption is a total discourse per se
