@rickpelletier i been building like normal, then blueprinting and going back in time to drop and let the bots build (or myself without having to worry the layout and recipes).

@rootnode yeah, the assembler programmers said the same about us and I’m sure the electricians said that about the first programmers … but I think the same as you, there’s something different about LLMs. Is not just an abstraction, there’s definitely a lot less “having to think about the problem”

@rootnode found myself thinking it reminds me a lot about what I find distasteful about frontend web development, and then they dive in to that. Read my mind.
