hmmm ok nevermind - I see that if you replace node_modules inside a directory with a symlink:

- modules don't seem to resolve, e.g. Vite won't start
- running `npm install` will replace the symlink with an actual dir

"hey kids, you should build your 1-feature applications as fast as possible without any fundamental knowledge so that when new requests come in you'll be immediately paralysed by breaking changes you're unable to resolve"

seems legit - why not get 10 people to do this all at the same time?

Ye, it seems that without new devs realising that LLMs may be affecting learning that there's the potential for development of a skills gap

This paper goes a little further and seems to find that LLMs may rob people of creative problem solving, though :/

It's not a search engine. It is a tool for _generating_ output in a non-deterministic manner based on probabilities and source material

Companies peddling this BS are destroying people's ability to find real information

holy flippin' shits, ok, you're waaaay ahead of me O.o

You're on a slippery slope towards mapping _all_ navigation to hjkl :D
Browser tabs, webpages, desktop spaces, application instances, editor panes... the world is your hjkloyster
The Vimium-C browser extension is a great segue into this world of home-row nav

Sounds like it's right up my alley :)
Thanks!

I've been wondering if this'd be a worthwhile / interesting pivot from dev...
The more I hear about how people think things work, and how they interact with tech, the more terrified I am of what's actually happening out there

LLMs are _generative_ - they generate output using probabilities

A probabilistic outcome is unlikely to yield deterministic results

Avoid using them for search, and avoid using them for data analysis - they're the wrong tool for the job

This ☝️

Second-order and third-order effects can be far reaching

Systems are complex

A simple answer is not necessarily an elegant answer

no... just no...

I use AI for line completion - it saves a ton of keystrokes

Now and then I'll learn something new by chance, maybe 1 in 2000 completions

BUT, I operate in this context:

- due to expertise, I see BS immediately
- the more lines, the less useful
- completion is disabled during active learning
