This is not meant to be an offense, but you are in a bubble. The vast, vast majority of people do not use LLMs in their day-to-day life. That’s ok, we’re all in our own bubbles.
You should also post the 2048 clone as proof. Lots people saying they built X in Y minutes with AI. But, when it’s inspected, it’s revealed it very obviously doesn’t work right and needs more development.
Quite interesting — but how is it fundamentally more productive than being in VS code in R or python? You don’t get any of the benefits of an IDE here. I often find myself doing very similar workflows but default to either VS Code or the shell. Trying to imagine this truly making workflows faster/easier/more efficient, but can’t figure it.
Unfortunately not! I do very similar workflows honestly but have basically defaulted to the norm or compromises like:
- write own cli in python that does the sql wrapping and basic transforms and cleaning
- read in the csv with R to make plots and tables.
Boring.
Cursor with 3.5 sonnet has made all this way faster so that’s nice. Often LLMs are now featuring in these pipelines and I see libraries like data bonsai and instructor being helpful. But yeah idk. No bright ideas here but always on the lookout to optimise.
It's definitely not 100% correct (I just spotted a syntactic issue in HTML, for example), and I bet a lot of people will find some visual issue on their browser/device configuration. I don't care. It works on my desktop, it works on my phone, it's even better than the now-enshittified web and Android versions I used to play. I'm content :).
Yes. It does so trivially, but in the process it breaks the CSS for larger screens. I couldn't get it to get both to work at the same time in 5 minutes of trying. My modern CSS skills aren't good enough to quickly notice what the problem is, so it's beyond my horizon of caring (but I do encourage hints I could pass on to the AI).
It does fix it trivially, just in a way that causes regression on larger screens :).
As mentioned above, I don't care. It's sized correctly for the devices I use to play it, and I'm not going to put any more work into this. I mean, even junior web devs get paid stupidly high salaries for doing Responsive Web Design; I ain't gonna work on this for free.
(But I will accept AI-generated patches, or human-generated advice I could paste into the prompt to get a correct solution :P.)
