My AI skeptic friends are all nuts

I was a 3-4x programmer before. Now I’m a 9-15x programmer when wrangling LLMs.

This is a sea change and it’s already into “incredible” territory and shows no signs of slowing down.

> Think of anything you wanted to build but didn’t. You tried to home in on some first steps. If you’d been in the limerent phase of a new programming language, you’d have started writing. But you weren’t, so you put it off, for a day, a year, or your whole career.

I have been banging out little projects that I have wanted to exist for years but always had on the back burner. Write a detailed readme and ask the agent to interrogate you about the missing parts of the spec then update the README. Then have it make a TODO and start implementing. Give it another code base for style guide.

I’ve made more good and useful and working code in the last month than I have in the last two years.

That’s nothing, I was a 4X programmer and now I’m a 500x programmer!

I don’t just run one agent, I run all of them!

My time to close tickets is measured in minutes!

I don’t even review code, I have a different agent review it for me!

And to make sure that agent doesn’t make mistakes I have a different agent review that agents work!

Why would you do this and not just read the code yourself?

>>tptace+j1
Well given reading code is more tedious than writing it and the author of this article claims gai is most useful for tedious or repetitive code, why would you want to read it? Since this AI agent understands and reasons about the text it writes and reads it should be pretty infallible at checking the code too, right?

Just get another agent to review it and merge it, job done.
