i write so little code
← Back to logbook
I maybe write 5%, if that, of my code. most of it is reviewing what LLMs make. I think this is a combination of many factors
- The work that i'm doing is mostly a function of effort. that is - there isn't anything new being done. I'm making something that already exists/partially exists. Therefore, what is prioritized is speed - leading to using LLMs
- This shit is mostly trivial - i.e. once i have a "lay of the land" of the codebase, it's just prompting and understanding what goes where.
- The only thing that I do is the developer onboarding and understanding process. And doing long-horizon tasks.
- i feel like i legitimately cannot code without AI and i need to go back to basics
Trying to change this by:
personal projects that are not work-related
research where it's like 90% reading and thinking, 10% implementation and where it's high entropy lines of code, that is, lines of code that are not trivial but if fucked up, it can lead to a lot of problems
questions
- is doing leetcode/coding puzzles actually useful for me anymore?
