Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

There is one narrow case in which I've found the compiler analogy useful: explaining my frustrations with LLM-assisted design/architecture doc generation. Here, it's useful because handing someone a design document that was output by an LLM is a lot like handing someone a binary and asking them for a code review.
I'd much rather work with whatever disorganized soup of thoughts someone fed into the machine, because those at least contain intent, rather than a document that actively obscures what the designer wanted in a barrage of detail.
Yeah... I think the core point is, LLM's shit is generated artifacts, which need to be kept separate from sources. That you can't actually re-generate the same artifacts, is just a dingleberry on top of the shit pile.
