Glyphit's truly amazing what LLMs can achieve. we now know it's possible to produce an html5 parsing library with nothing but the full source code of an existing html5 parsing library, all the source code of all other open source libraries ever, a meticulously maintained and extremely comprehensive test suite written by somebody else, 5 different models, a megawatt-hour of energy, a swimming pool full of water, and a month of spare time of an extremely senior engineer
Mirano4566@glyph I don't understand this modern Luddism any more than I understand the AI hype. It's simply a tool that, when used sensibly, can serve you well. These posts full of demagoguery are laughable. Go break your machines like your ancestors did.
1. re: luddites, I'd recommend you educate yourself—maybe just read the wikipedia page—about who the luddites were and why they were breaking looms. From that wikipedia page: "Luddites were not opposed to the use of machines per se (many were skilled operators in the textile industry); they attacked manufacturers who were trying to circumvent standard labor practices"

I also really love this comic:
I'm a luddite (and so can you!) by Tom Hunberstone
