poetastermia, vis powertools, the only way I use LLMs (local, qwen3.8:27b or coder) is as reference. I find them nicer to use than 'web search' these days. For codegen, it's a toss up and I keep that really small (ie. function by function) so that I don't ever lose sight of what's going on.16:29
poetastermia, I have code bases with so many authors there is enough problematic code just between author code styles, let alone autogen.16:29
miathey’re pretty good rubber ducks and i’ve found them useful for learning. undiagnosed ADHD and math teachers were a very bad match but LLMs are pretty good at the sort of thing that works for me. “transform math jargon into computer jargon and give me little C programming exercises relevant to the problem i’m trying to solve so i get a reward stream and whatever i learn actually sticks”16:33
