Comment on Why LLMs can't really build software
hisao@ani.social 1 week agoIf my coworkers do, they’re very quiet about it.
Gee, guess why. Given the current culture of hate and ostracism I would never outright say IRL that I like it or use it a lot. I would say something like “yeah, I think it can sometimes be useful when used carefully and I sometimes use it too”. While in reality it would mean that it actually writes 95% of code under my micromanagement.

Wut. At software shops the prevailing atmosphere is that you should use it and broadcast it as much as possible. This person’s experience is not normal

Okay, to be fair, my knowledge of the current culture in industry is very limited. It’s mostly impression formed by online conversations, not limited to Lemmy. Last project I worked at it was illegal to use public LLMs because of intellectual property (and maybe even GDPR) concerns. We had a local scope-limited LLM integration though and that one was allowed, but there was literally a single person across multiple departments who used it and it was a “middle” dev and it was only for autocomplete. Backenders wouldn’t even consider it.
