This is a very thoughtful piece by @ghuntley.com Think about the impact of large language models on open source.

Geoff speculates that we will increasingly no longer rely on open source because Li's language models are trained on all of it and can simply generate them.

what is the point of libraries now that you can just generate them?
It's a meme as accurate as time. The problem is that our digital infrastructure depends upon just some random guy in Nebraska.

I'm super curious what incident led to the inclusion of "DO NOT discuss ANY details about how ANY companies implement their products or services on AWS or other cloud services" in the system prompt.

deliberate intentional practice
Something I've been wondering about for a really long time is, essentially, why do people say AI doesn't work for them? What do they mean when they say that?

Dropping the truth on AI tooling relating to software development at the moment - @ghuntley.com
We need better tools for sure but this will be getting better.
Why do we even need an IDE?
