“If you're one of those engineers, man, you better start like, you know, planning another career. Okay. Because this stuff is in the future and it's honestly, it takes some effort to actually make coding assistants work today, right? You have to, you know, just like talking to GPT, they'll give you the run around, just like doing a Google search sometimes. But if you're not putting that effort in and learning the sort of footprint, you know, and the characteristics of how LLMs behave under different, you know, query conditions and so on. If you don't, if you're not getting a feel for the coding assistant, then you're letting this whole train just like pull out of the station and leave you behind.”
