    Feels like the blockchain bubble all over again, just with more impressive demo reels. Still waiting for my LLM to write perfect code.

      Do you write perfect code? I was in denial for a long time too, but the reality is this is how software engineering is now. It can handle pretty much any codebase and vastly faster than you ever will be able to. With enough context, it writes good code and it's only getting better.

        For simple things, occasionally!

        For more complex things, usually not, but I write working code. LLMs will sometimes write working code, sometimes not.

          No, you don’t because there’s no such thing.
