We used to have working spelling and grammar checkers. Why does everybody in tech pretend you need a whole-ass LLM to check for typos?

@baldur A friend told me he uses it to do tasks that are easy to validate, like renaming variables. I was like... did you previously not have ways to rename variables? Is this not something that you've done a million times before?

He mumbled some excuses about how he couldn't get some LSP server to work or something. This man has close to 20 years of professional experience, and chatbots have absolutely ruined his brain.

@AndrewRadev @baldur buy my new app which is an LLM that does find and replace 🤪

@scott @baldur Buy my new app, I call it a "search engine". Benefits over searching for information via LLMs:

- Much faster
- No need to write full sentences, just type keywords
- 100% Hallucination-free, all results are guaranteed to point to the actual sites the results were taken from.

@AndrewRadev @baldur this sounds so radical, it couldn’t possibly work! I mean it would still need a data center but it couldn’t possible use enough water and electricity to be… oh yeah never mind, good idea
