No LLMs involved on that one.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

So you've been using these in your day-to-day programming work for the last year. And back in early January, you wrote this post, how I program with LLMs, which I found to be refreshingly practical and straightforward. Your findings, you said you've been actively trying these things.

I feel like I've been passively trying them, not really trying to optimize my setup, but just like, you know, like, uh, a Neanderthal kind of poking at a computer box, you know, like, Oh, does this work now? Okay. For the last couple of years, um, So I do use these things, but I don't think as effectively as most or at least some.

And I loved your finding that, of course, you're building something as a result of it. But can you take us on that journey over the last year or so where you started with LLMs and what you found in your day to day programming?

Because you're reading it word by word as it comes out, but it's basically stalling. You're like, come on, just give me the answer already.

The thinking phase. I'm like, come on. And it tells you what it's thinking, which is cool. Think faster.

It makes sense that there are specific models that are good for autocomplete versus search versus chat. But have you found the correct one for each particular subtask or what's your advice there? Is it like use them all or just stick with this? You'll be good.

How can you tell that?

Yeah. I mean, I don't think that these tools have come to the place that the running shoe has. I also think there's probably plenty of world-class runners who run shoeless and would never run with a shoe on because that's for fools. But I'm not going to go there. Well, would you run a New York City Marathon with no shoes?
