People usually talk about how they're better than LLMs in the domains they're experts and with known codebases.

What about all the other, large amounts of cases? Don't you ever face situations in which an LLM can greatly help (and outrace) you?

Yeah totally, for unknown codebases it can help kick you off in the right direction (though it can send you down a totally wrong path as well... projects with good docs tend to be ones where I've found LLMs be worse at their job on this ironically).

But well.. when working with coworkers on known projects it's a different story, right?

My stance is these tools are, of course, useful, but humans can most definitely be faster than the current iteration of these tools in a good number of tasks, and some form of debugging tasks are like that for me. The ones I've tried have been too prone to meandering and trying too many "top results on Google"-style fixes.

But hey maybe I'm just holding it wrong! Just seems like some of my coworkers are too

Asking seriously, what is holding us from creating these masterpieces again?

So far I only used Antigravity for side projects and I am having so much fun. That said, I get much better results with Opus than with the Gemini models for moderately complex tasks.

There is another option, to develop pan-european software as it has been done in other areas such as aerospace.

As long as you define pan-europe as like 5 countries.

Fair enough. A better word would be multinational.

Afghanistan even has the same government again, which is even more ridiculous.

Sure, but there's no longer an Afganistan disasterous occupation gap.

I think most people agree about Maduro being horrible to Venezuela, but this has nothing to do with that. If this is legitimized, any president can be kidnapped by the US at will. This is a very dangerous precedent which a lot of people will regret when the bully turns against them and not their enemy.

Well for starters he quite clearly stole the election so he is not even the legitimate President. Beyond this he faces indictment for a large number of crimes in the United States and has been extradited to face trial for them.

It's just an excuse to remove an opponent from power and install a puppet. Believing that that's the reason is of extreme naivety. This does not mean that Maduro being out of power is a bad thing, but believing this has anything with law or democracy is ridiculous.

As usual, things are complex. Maduro out of power is a good thing, the way of removing him is dangerous.

> If this is legitimized

Russia tried to do this to Zelensky and Bush Sr. did do it to Noriega in 1990.

You say that as if the reason is that Venezuela is a dictatorship. I despise Maduro but this break of international rules is everything but morally good. It opens a world of brute force and lack of international rules. It is only "morally good" in the short term. In the medium-long, it's morally horrible and terrifying.

I couldn't end reading it. He was saying all the time that the read might have some envy and this was too good to complain, but what I most felt is pity. Being all day at home feels miserable to me.

It’s honestly amazing if you’re the right type of person for it (I know because I have a similar life to the author and I love it). The one important thing, as the author discovered and this article is about, is to make sure to keep up some amount of social life and not become a complete shut in as that genuinely becomes miserable after a while (at least it did for me until I started revitalizing my social life as well, though not in the way the author did).

All that is to say, please don’t feel pity for us haha. I asume the author, like me, genuinely enjoys this lifestyle.

Same with humans. It's much more efficient to feed humans directly than animals for human consumption.

Isn't it much more secure to get hired than to spin-out a company that sells for 10M?
