People are skeptical of LLMs because the experiences they’ve had with LLMs. You can’t blog your way out those experiences.

I’m skeptical because I’ve seen this exact situation and I’ve seen the result be something that anyone experienced wouldn’t do.



Sometimes I think folks having ‘experiences’ should play more poker.

The point is, it’s a game of chance and yet good players beat bad players in the long run. Your job in the new era of software engineering is to design the process so LLMs doing your code monkeying avoid the losses (including discarding bad changes) and take the wins. Win often enough and you’ll come out ahead.


Hmm you have written it in a way that gives me a new line of thinking.

I think what you are saying is that people should learn and appreciate working in high variance environments and still exploit small gains. This is clearly not something that is easily digestible to people so they end up rejecting LLMs.
