I happen to agree, but I was just trying to make clear that this point is independent of any "LLM worldview," and thus hopefully avoid a knee-jerk reaction to some perceived "deep critique" of LLMs. I just want them to realize the practical issues maintainers are dealing with right now.

Like many LLM topics, I’m not even necessarily opposed to the idea that *someday* LLMs could be used for this, maybe even amazing for this! But regardless of their “future potential,” I am *baffled* that people seem to sincerely not understand that they are *obviously* not ready for that *today*.

Apologies, I forgot that I normally screenshot my phone, which leads to much more readable font sizes and line widths. Going to try to remedy it in the original, but meanwhile here is a direct link: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4521...

It feels like complaining about how you broke your foot, only for them to sigh and (condescendingly) share with you their tips and tricks for how to best manage your Spotify playlists.

More worrying is how common it is to have someone “argue” by sharing how useful it was in their *totally unrelated scenario*. Is it really not common knowledge that “coding on your stuff” is very different from “managing and triaging contributions”? Their “advice” isn’t even wrong, just irrelevant.

Great, then why is it presented by a dude on a bike? Wouldn’t it bounce around like crazy while riding a bike? More importantly: there’s a way to design this so it doesn’t make you look like a tourist carrying around your passport.
