    worse?

    they’ve always been fucking terrible.

    coding assistants in general are annoying and get in the way more than they help.

    For people who hate LLM, do you hate it because it performs badly and failed to help you? Or because of other reason?

    if it has failed to help you, what have you tried to use it for? And what is your expectation?

      I hate it because it fails to help me, but that’s because for me, learning how to write better code is as important as actually producing good code, if not more so. Relevant context is that my background is in the sciences, and whilst nowadays, I’m increasingly more of a programmer than a biochemist, I still very much feel like a learner.

        If you pay them they’ll publish anything. Half the stuff on Spectrum is sponsored content or barely disguised ads now

        Are you not able to provide AI with a prompt clear enough for it to do the work you requested without problems?
