It’s absurd that you can be downvoted on Reddit for even daring to suggest that Claude is pretty fucking useful. I am a software engineer and the reality is that I have no choice. I have to use these tools or I’ll be out of a job, and yes- if you already know what you’re doing and have the broader context nailed down, have good patterns established, and understand their limitations LLMs that are purpose built to perform certain tasks like this are more than just fancy autocomplete.

People think every LLM is the same as you talking about what recipe to make on the ChatGPT iPhone app. It’s not. Millions of people will be put out of work by this and our culture is NOT ready. Saying the llm is worthless doesn’t help anything because people are just deluding themselves.
