I think that is an excellent selection for people wanting to double down on that strategy.

But for my area, I choose other ways to do the above


Democracy was first formed by powerful people in city states so they could rule jointly.

It really has not evolved much beyond that. Except in very small countries, today it merely means oligarchy.

While it is often better than despotic, autocratic or monarchy. At the end of the day, the ultimate tests are: how the working classes fare; the happiness index of the majority; how much corruption is in the government; how fair the justice system is; life expectancy; and access to medicine and treatments.



Dictating all social services leave back doors for meta to monitor… wow, this one may beat the Americans in the race for criminal stupidity


When adding code this way, one needs to look it over and read to fix bugs or things that are not quite correct; stats show experienced developers often are faster not using this approach because debugging existing code takes longer than writing it fresh.

The speed is not the issue.

What matters is sometimes subtle bugs are introduced that require several people to catch. If at all. These issues might be unique to the Llm.

Having large sections of generated code offers the possibility of hard to find problems.

Some codes are more sensitive to such issues.

The details of how the code was added, and what it does, may render this issue harmless or very much a problem to be avoided.

This is why it’s a flag and not a condemnation



LLM is avoided by many experienced developers and competent medium and small companies.

Tools like cursor are sometimes ok for small things like people learning, or to generate boilerplate.

But it is seen by some as a warning flag when it’s in source code for larger projects
