alt Hacker NewsYou're not paying attention. There is no agentic. You use the LLM the way your tax man uses a calculator. It's back and forth all the time.
Ignore agentic stuff, that is marketing. Think about it anyway - why tf would it take all day, responses take seconds. There is no "leave it running" it's a fake concept

A calculator does no design or review, so what exactly is the llm being used for, no metaphors or riddles please.
because to me this:
"Something simple like adding reactions, adding read receipts ... The LLM easily excels at the task and yet I didn’t have to do it."
Implies to me code gen.
That aside, are you a 'DidntUseIt' sockpuppet, given there are lots of green accounts responding on their behalf..
That's fine, but then the value of the tool evaporates. I agree you have to hold the LLM's hand so that it doesn't do crazy things, but that takes so much time that you don't actually save time over just writing it yourself. That is why I continue to maintain that LLMs are not a useful tool: either you completely give up on quality to get speed gains, or you maintain quality but get no speed gains.
