Does very large context significantly increase a response time? Are there any benchmarks/leader-boards estimating different models in that regard?

I use Claude and like it, but this post has kind of a clunky and stilted style

So I guess the blog team also uses Claude

Also started to suspect that, but I have a bigger problem with the content than styling:

> "Instead of remembering complex Kubernetes commands, they ask Claude for the correct syntax, like "how to get all pods or deployment status," and receive the exact commands needed for their infrastructure work."

Duh, you can ask LLM tech questions and stuff. What is the point of putting something like that on the tech blog of the company which supposed to be working on beading edge tech.

> The Codex sprint was probably the hardest I've worked in nearly a decade. Most nights were up until 11 or midnight. Waking up to a newborn at 5:30 every morning. Heading to the office again at 7a. Working most weekends.

There's so much compression / time-dilation in the industry: large projects are pushed out and released in weeks; careers are made in months.

Worried about how sustainable this is for its people, given the risk of burnout.

I think Altman said in Lex F. podcast that he works 8 hours, 4 first one being the most productive ones and he doesn't believe CEO claiming they work 16 hours a day. Weird contrast to what described in the article. This confirms my theory that there are two types of people in startups: founders and everybody else, the former are there to potentially make a lot of money, and the later are there to learn and leave.

What I really wanted to know if OpenAI(and other labs for that matter) actually use their own products and not just casually but make LLM a core of how they operate. For example: using LLM for coding in prod, training/fine-tuning internal models for aligning on the latest updates, finding answer etc. Do they put their money where their mouth is, do LLMs help with productivity? There is no mention of it in the article, so I guess they don't?

we interviewed him and passed. he was horrible. it blows my mind seeing these reports of him crushing interviews and being a great dev. the bar for programmers is woefully low. on second thought there's got to be more to this story because he came to us through a recruiter who talked him up big time. did he come to you through a recruiter too? if so then either the recruiter is in on it or he has an army of different recruiters getting him in front of yc people. also you say you worked with him in person but other reports say he was in india. something not adding up here. i can verify my story by giving you the Nth character of the quirky email address he uses. can you do the same?

What type of interview you have, I presume non LeetCode style?
maxnevermind commented on Ask HN: Anyone struggling to get value out of coding LLMs?    · Posted by u/bjackman

I get a lot of value out of LLMs including for existing codebases and authoring / modifying code in them.

However, only maybe 10% of that is agentic coding. Thus, my recommendation would be - try non-agentic tools.

My primary workflow is something that works with the Zed editor, and which I later ported as a custom plugin to Goland. Basically, you first chat with the AI in a sidebar possibly embedding a couple of files in the discussion (so far nothing new), and then (this is the new part) you use contextual inline edits to rewrite code "surgically".

Importantly, the inline edits have to be contextual, they need to know both the content of the edited file, and of the conversation so far, so they will usually just have a prompt like "implement what we discussed". From all I know, only Zed's AI assistant supports this.

With this I've had a lot of success. I still effectively make all architectural decisions, it just handles the nitty-gritty details, and with enough context in the chat from the current codebase (in my case usually tens of thousands of tokens worth of embedded files) it will also adhere very well to your code-style.

You mean the session context awareness? I thought it is a default in all major IDE/plugins. Or you mean some specific trait of that feature?

I just had an llm build the my side business’s website and full client portal. About 15k loc.

It’s amazing. Better design in terms of UI / UX than I could have fathomed and so much more.

There’s a lot of duplicated code that I’ll clean up, but the site functions and will be launched for clients to start using soon.

For my day job, it’s also helping me build out the software at a faster pace than before and is an amazing rubber duck.

maxnevermind · 3 months ago
Have you read through all 15K loc, What is your feeling about maintainability of it?

Also as I understand one the main problem with LLM right now is trying to apply some surgical changes to large enough code base or adding some extra functionality without breaking/altering existing ones, have you faces issues with that?

Another issue is security, I've heard some horror stories of non-tech people developing web solutions to later find them destroyed by hackers because they didn't know were to look to find holes in their design.

How is the shorter deadline better for the worker? Ultimately, that devolves to a race to the bottom with people choosing between overworking or being laid off. Surely AWS is profitable enough by now, that all those employees could get their work hours reduced, receive a raise, and have both the organization and the product keep existing just fine.

I could argue that a company that would do that could be in a long run out-competed by a company that would do layoffs and push their employees for higher productivity by utilizing AI.

It amazes me how immature our field can be. Anyone that worked for big corporations and in humongous codebases know how 'generating new code' is a small part of the job.

AI blew up and suddenly I'm seeing seasoned people talking about KLOC like in the 90s.

Exactly, but I would go further, anyone who worked in big corps know that other non 'generating new code' part is usually pretty inefficient and I would argue AI is going to change that too. So there will be much less of that abstract yapping in endless meetings or there will be less people involved in that.

Am I reading that chart incorrectly, why summer months has a drop of green energy generation?
