There is no such a thing as a 10x engineer. Anyone who appears as 10x only do whatever that maintains that illusion. (don't help anyone else, don't do support, keep all knowledge in head, bad documentation, etc)

What I do is turn off copilot, do the design, get in the zone and enable copilot. This way I do not get it to slow me down, otherwise I just wait for it to do API calls. Even then, I turn it off when it create complete wrong implementations.

Problem is it doesn't know the layer of utilities we have and just rewrite everything from scratch. Which is too much duplicatation. I have to now delete it and type correct code again.

One advantage I have seen is that, it can defenitely translate / simplify what my collegues say, fix typos or partial-words. Which is very useful when you are working with lot of different people.

Could you elaborate further? I am a skilled immigrant in the UK. I pay my taxes and have not used any benefits. I even pay for my medication; the only free service I have used is a GP appointment or a hospital scan, which was likely covered by the IHS (Immigration Health Surcharge).

What have I done to make the country worse off?

I think LLM web applications need a big red warning (non interactive, I don't want more cookie dialogs) like in cigarettes.

LLM generated content need to be verified.

What is a free speech plugin? were there political discussions in these threads? If so it seems like they did the correct thing removing such political plugin right?

basic utility program decided to become political

looks like they wanted to avoid it, isn't it?

Even if this is a serious project, particular author of this project has a right to build something, and try to carve out an audience for it. Nothing wrong with that.

yeah, even the disclaimer is identical. Original Secretllama poster at least talked about web-llm package which powers it. But this is a just a clone. How sad.

mmm.. this is an interesting take. I have been a zealot of sort in the past (intern/junior time), but now coming to same conclusions about these cargo cults.
