There are no silver bullets in programming.
Using a typed language won't magically make bugs go away.
Using a framework won't magically make your app more secure.
Using a LLM won't magically write working applications for you.

@tk A radical solution.
@DM_Ronin you holding wrong it just are
@thomasfuchs to add from personal experience:
Using mutexes won't magically make race conditions disappear
@thomasfuchs Seen so much hype recently but I still legitimately cannot figure out why anyone would use an LLM for programming. How does that help anything? Are people just slow typists, or they have problems remembering the syntax?
It takes months to train skilled programmers on a complex domain. Supposedly an LLM can "understand" an entire problem domain with just a short prompt? It's all gibberish to me.
@llewelly Yeah :(
@thomasfuchs
the first book I got that was mainly about software development but not about how to code in a specific language was Fred Brooks' book _The Mythical Man-Month_ , a 1990s edition, with his famous _No Silver Bullet_ essay, and other later essays tacked on. Some good insights about software development, but, sadly, told through a very conservative, patriarchal lens, even from my viewpoint as a white cis guy from a very conservative part of the USA.
@jf Even at best it doesn't work beyond trivial stuff that can mostly copy+pasted by the LLM (e.g. a "todo app"), and even then it's mostly buggy, has security issues and needs to be rewritten by hand anyway.
You only write that today because you have been programing with AI for days.
In weeks not years most tech people are going to have developed a new skill set.
Programing with English.
@thomasfuchs @tk no humans no problems.
