@etchedpixels @larsmb @jzb as an industry we've spent this many decades failing.to "sharpen the saw", is it surprising we're now all gung ho about the enchanted broadswords we've just been gifted? They're so much better at opening bottles than the old way!

@etchedpixels @larsmb @jzb like I said, things that should not be useful but are.

@larsmb @etchedpixels @jzb in a $work context I've found llms quite good at automating what would otherwise be "find the plausible stack overflow answer and copy-paste it, changing the names" or "write a shit load of boilerplate" or "explain the awful mess that this module is and work out what it was supposed to be for" or even "do a refactor in less time than it would take me to figure out the LSP support in this language and do it myself".

All things that should not be useful if we'd collectively made better choices, but given where we are now have value in context
