I don't think LLMs should be integrated into your IDE. There, I said it. I think we should use them for sure -- amazing tools. But not like that.

With agentic coding I'd estimate that I move about 5x faster than I did in the past. A feature that might have taken me 5 days to implement before I can now knock out in a day or less. I'll add that I don't vibe code anything. More just describing small coding tasks for the…

Interesting circle we've been around in the last ~50 years. I started off with computers understanding how they worked and all the amazing things you could do with them if you simply had the appropriate discipline. Things looked like they didn't work -- who could know what to…

It just occurred to me that future versions of AI can not only code the program you wanted, it can make a high quality movie of you doing all the work! Of course after you fight off supervillains and save those orphans from that fire. I might need a sidekick.

I gave up on the software development community about a decade ago and fired all of them. It got tired talking to the wall. Lately, however, with LLMs I get the distinct feeling that they might be coming around to common sense -- a bit. Don't think I'm ever going to re-hire them,…

fascinatingly incomplete. Yes, reinventing the wheel is a pretty much a fool's game in software development. It's all been done before, by better coders than you. But in a competitive commercial marketplace, what you're dong the way you're executing it had better be unique, or…

Oh my goodness gracious, @JohnHMcWhorter and @GlennLoury , you two are at it again. We're going to have to put you in a corner. In my humble, misinformed, and probably completely wrong opinion, Glenn's wrong but for the right reasons. John's right but with the wrong reasons.…

Fascinating. Continuing to play around with grok and vibe coding this morning. When conversing in English with an LLM, after a while the LLM loses track of where you are, something called context rot. As we should all know, however, very quickly the programmer loses track of the…
