I haven't actually tried current frontier models but every LLM I've used isn't good enough to actually get good results vibe coding without applying some of your own programming knowledge, so I think you'd still want to learn regardless. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] figjam@midwest.social 14 points 7 months ago (2 children) Brains are elastic and the more you put into them the better they work. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] chicken@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 point 7 months ago* (1 child) Are you a programmer? My general experience as a programmer has been that being judicious in what you spend time and energy thinking about is one of the most important things to do. The amount of languages, frameworks, and libraries all with their own syntax, documentation and quirks vastly exceeds the capacity of any one person to durably memorize, and there are compelling reasons to want to use a wide range of them on an infrequent basis and not specialize. Strategies to avoid getting lost in the weeds and find shorter paths to your actual goals were important before LLMs and they are now even more important. Also, personally, my memory sucks, not everyone is dealing with the same constraints and because of that there is no single right approach. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] wewbull@feddit.uk 2 points 2 months ago Yes, if you're memorising them. You can only hold so much in active short term memory. Coding has never been about memory though. It's about understanding why. permalink fedilink source parent
