Recently, I've met an alarming number of not completely clueless people who like using LLMs as tools for coding.

Actually somehow reflected, but still believing that it is a great tool to help with the cumbersome parts of development.

I think that part of the problem is that current ecosystems *have* made it much too complicated to do simple things and LLMs actually *are* a tool to fight this by spitting out all the boilerplate and interconnected parts that are needed there.

So, this could maybe be an incentive to prove them wrong, to build frameworks, libraries, systems that make it *easier* to do the actual work than to find the right prompt and context to convince the LLM to do it.

@HeptaSean 100%!

I’m not a fan of the “let’s solve complex technology by deploying more technology” timeline.

One example is using AI to review AI code as the latter has become too much to review by people.

That’s why I like technologies that try to simplify, constrain and/or go back to basics like HTMX in the web dev world.

@simeon Could argue that HTMX is only necessary because we have already built too much bs on top of HTML/CSS and vanilla Javascript. But, yeah!
