I know someone is going to tell me I’m just “doing it wrong”, or bragging but, I’ve written some *extremely basic* code this week with an LLM (I know I know, but it was mandated that I *try*).
I am absolutely certain I could have written this faster myself.
Feeling super “accelerated” as I sit here… patiently waiting… shitposting on the internet… instead of doing the work I could have been doing.
But hey, those tokens won’t use up themselves!
Oh phew, someone else on the team built a “Slop Detection” “skill” for the LLM so now it will magically stop being a statistical model and instead be a statistical model with ✨ slightly different inputs ✨.
Thank you kind stranger, I couldn’t have done it without you.
Okay I actually timed it: 8 minutes and 40 seconds to delete 13 lines and add 4.
I sure hope my promotion prospects aren’t based on lines of code / hour, or I’m in real trouble compared to my baseline.
But it’s okay, because the LLM promises those 17 lines changes aren’t slop. It spent 3 minutes making sure they aren’t slop.
Motherfucker, I could have told you in 0.3 seconds.
@stroughtonsmith I’m not denying you your experience, just sharing mine:
In 9 minutes Claude deleted 1 redundant if statement and changed two function parameters into one.
