@alex@feed.yopp.me @david_chisnall@infosec.exchange @janl@narrativ.es if you can automate predictions for something to the point where an LLM can do it semi-reliably, in almost every case you could, and i will argue should, define an abstraction that does it deterministically

@alex@feed.yopp.me @david_chisnall@infosec.exchange @janl@narrativ.es people have been writing abstractions over HTML for almost as long as HTML existed. you can go ahead and use .jsx/.tsx in almost any environment today; the abstractions have won

@whitequark@mastodon.social @david_chisnall@infosec.exchange @janl@narrativ.es and to make jsx/tsx components you have to setup said components and all the code around it is kinda boilerplate. Hardly any IDE have enough snippets to automate that.

But I totally agree that with LLM you trade speed for attention, especially if it’s non statically typed code so your IDE can’t catch bullshit on the spot.

I’m not defending LLMs: they are overhyped and they don’t live to their promise of the utility. For me it’s somewhat time saving in some scenarios, but overall it’s meh. I don’t believe that current architecture can achieve anything other than ruining the knowledge storages we had before
