alt Hacker NewsUsing LLMs for development is not efficient. All of the problems these companies are having trying to provide enough compute and energy are proof.
Understanding the actual problems we are trying to solve with code and efficiently coming up with solutions (essentially, pre-LLM development) will always be better than wastefully brute forcing solutions with LLMs.
Counterpoint, 80% of the code I write is not hard and I don't care about it past it being close to a reference implementation
