Most notably my driveway meets the road at a blind y intersection, and my Model 3 just blasts out into the road even though you cannot see cross traffic.

FSD stresses me out. It's like I'm monitoring a teenager with their learners permit. I can probably count the number trips where I haven't had to take over on one hand.

I’ve always found it crazy that my LLM has access to such terrible tools compared to mine.

It’s left with grepping for function signatures, sending diffs for patching, and running `cat` to read all the code at once.

I however, run an IDE and can run a simple refactoring tool to add a parameter to a function, I can “follow symbol” to see where something is defined, I can click and get all usages of a function shown at a glance, etc etc.

Is anyone working on making it so LLM’s get better tools for actually writing/refactoring code? Or is there some “bitter lesson”-like thing that says effort is always better spent just increasing the context size and slurping up all the code at once?

Making someone’s agents 20% better, cheaper or faster will be a measurable and easy sales goal.
