@inthehands ffff that

@thomasfuchs LLMs are amazing tools for a solo developer that are productivity multipliers. Not just code, which they are amazing at, but many other aspects of development.

"Teach me about data management using Angular." Drill in on details in the answer.

"Make a list of (real world data - e.g. uh... guitar manufacturers, headquarter cities, and founding dates) and format it as JSON." I'm gonna check the data of course.

What projects have you worked on where LLMs failed to deliver?

@b4ux1t3 @thomasfuchs Referring to LLM for coding, I'm mostly just referring to Copilot, which doesn't involve asking a question, you just start writing code (or even just a comment about what the upcoming code is supposed to do) in VSCode and it very often generates a perfect line or block of code. And by perfect, I mean it's exactly what I would have typed, but instantaneous. Sure it misses sometimes, but it's obvious when it does.

@b4ux1t3 @thomasfuchs And then sometimes it's well beyond that. It sometimes correctly predicts that you will add some new function/method and can implement it. Or I don't know a language well or an API. I just write a comment like "// call Mastodon server and get the vote data for the toot as JSON" and BAM, there's the code to do that. 5 seconds vs at least a few minutes for me. I suppose YMMV but I have found it a massive productivity boost and don't understand how others could possibly not.
