Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

I use gpt to give me snippets of code (not in my ide, I use neovim btw), check my stuff for typos/logical errors, suggest solutions to some problems, debugging, and honestly I kinda love it. I was learning programming on my own in 2010s, and this is so much better than crawling over wikis/stackoverflow. At least for me, now, when I already have an intuition for what is a good code.

Anyone who says llm will replace programmers in 1-2 years is either stupid or a grifter.

AI isn't bad when supervised by a human who knows what they're doing. It's good to speed up programmers if used properly. But business execs don't see that.

Even when I supervise it, I always have to step in to clean up it's mess, tell it off because it randomly renames my variables and functions because it thinks it knows better and oversteps. Needs to be put in it's place like a misbehaving dog, lol
