alt Hacker NewsThis is key: computation is about making things happen. Coding with an LLM adds a level of abstraction but the need for precision and correctness of the "things that happen" doesn't go away. No matter how many cool demos and "coding is dead" pronouncements because AI - and the demos are very cool - the bulk of the work moves to the pre- and post-processing and evals with AI. To the extent that it makes programming more accessible it's a good thing, but can't really replace it.
Yeah but in the end when it comes down to it, one would have to specify the exact details, especially for very intricate systems. And the more and more you would abstract and specialize that language for the LLM, you end up going a very long round about way to re-inventing code basically.
