Michał Fita@dvshkn Maybe.
If you use LLM with #Rust it gives you higher confidence about your code being right. And agents iterate over code that doesn't build.
Nate Cox@michalfita @dvshkn hard disagree on this. LLMs destroy my trust in code being right.
@michalfita @dvshkn code that builds isn't tantamount to trustworthy code.
Robey ☠️@dvshkn from only my own personal experience/anecdote: it was never really possible to search for "best way to (x) in rust?" because stack overflow had already died. i don't even use the code tools (i like coding), but the bots have been a good search resource. a functioning stack overflow (equivalent) would also have worked!
attached is an example that got me over a speed bump that would have otherwise left me frustrated for a few hours, but instead made me go "oh rust is pretty cool here"
@robey I think the way you use LLMs with rust is close to my preferred way, too. I'm not trying to thumb my nose at people that need some assistance. Rust didn't really start clicking with me until my fourth attempt give or take.
In the discourse I might have misread a lot of low effort criticism ("rust is woke" etc) as ideological, when some of it might have simply been motivated by how challenging the language can be.
