maxnevermind | 1 month ago | on: How I use Claude Code: Separation of planning and execution

Yeap, I recently came to realization that is useful to think about LLMs as assumption engines. They have trillions of those and fill the gaps when they see the need. As I understand, assumptions are supposedly based on industry standards, If those deviate from what you are trying to build then you might start having problems, like when you try to implement a solution which is not "googlable", LLM will try to assume some standard way to do it and will keep pushing it, then you have to provide more context, but if you have to spend too much time on providing the context, then you might not save that much time in the end.

> verified with human use

Quality of that verification matters, people who might use AI tend to cut corners. This does not completely solve problem with AI slop imo and solution quality. You ask Claude Code to go and implement a new feature in a complex code base, it will, the code might even work, but implementation might have subtle issues and might be missing the broader vision of the repo.

I was trying to find some more context on this but all I could find is that Rob Pike seems to care a lot about efficiency of software/hardware and against bloat which is expressed in his work on Golang and in related talks about it.

I was also surprised by that. It is relatively cheap to measure as you can just buy BP monitor and do it yourself at home. Considering that high BP is very often asymptomatic, I, for example, even feel better with high BP, many people walking around accumulating damage for years. Not to mention it also goes with a baggage of other side-effects like increased chances of a stroke and kidney failure. For some reason it hits differently when you go eat something salty or drink coffee or get all stressed out for now reason and then see increased BP with your own eyes. That was what motivated me to stick to a better diet, cut caffeine and chill out.

Also started to suspect that, but I have a bigger problem with the content than styling:

> "Instead of remembering complex Kubernetes commands, they ask Claude for the correct syntax, like "how to get all pods or deployment status," and receive the exact commands needed for their infrastructure work."

Duh, you can ask LLM tech questions and stuff. What is the point of putting something like that on the tech blog of the company which supposed to be working on beading edge tech.

I think Altman said in Lex F. podcast that he works 8 hours, 4 first one being the most productive ones and he doesn't believe CEO claiming they work 16 hours a day. Weird contrast to what described in the article. This confirms my theory that there are two types of people in startups: founders and everybody else, the former are there to potentially make a lot of money, and the later are there to learn and leave.

maxnevermind | 8 months ago | on: Reflections on OpenAI

What I really wanted to know if OpenAI(and other labs for that matter) actually use their own products and not just casually but make LLM a core of how they operate. For example: using LLM for coding in prod, training/fine-tuning internal models for aligning on the latest updates, finding answer etc. Do they put their money where their mouth is, do LLMs help with productivity? There is no mention of it in the article, so I guess they don't?

maxnevermind | 10 months ago | on: Ask HN: Anyone struggling to get value out of coding LLMs?

Have you read through all 15K loc, What is your feeling about maintainability of it?

Also as I understand one the main problem with LLM right now is trying to apply some surgical changes to large enough code base or adding some extra functionality without breaking/altering existing ones, have you faces issues with that?

Another issue is security, I've heard some horror stories of non-tech people developing web solutions to later find them destroyed by hackers because they didn't know were to look to find holes in their design.

maxnevermind | 10 months ago | on: At Amazon, some coders say their jobs have begun to resemble warehouse work

> It amazes me how immature our field can be. Anyone that worked for big corporations and in humongous codebases know how 'generating new code' is a small part of the job.

Exactly, but I would go further, anyone who worked in big corps know that other non 'generating new code' part is usually pretty inefficient and I would argue AI is going to change that too. So there will be much less of that abstract yapping in endless meetings or there will be less people involved in that.
