LLM are good in coding when it faces narrow problem. I have built code generators for scraping in my Parsera project. It can really boost you when you need to scrape websites, but this is a quite small task, not like writing the whole app or smth.
Systems Developers/Programmers are more than just code, the primary goal is to Solve Problems not to code, code helps you solve problems in a repeatable functional manner, those who compete on Code will be replaced hence the Existential Crisis
At 58:55 I disagree, now I've been typing faster more times than ever, my hands hurt when I overdo it... Typing prompts for chatGPT regarding documentation 😂. By the time someone asked one question I asked 10.
Great interview, thought provoking. One thing I do worry about is what will happen to the "junior engineer"? The Simon Willison of the world is doing great, they can be more productive, and they can delegate the trivial work to the AI. But in the old world, jr engineer learn by doing that work so they can learn to become senior. In this new world order, there are no need for Jr Eng so company stop hiring them, how are new folks gonna get their training?
Awsome talk! Thank you both of you. I would love to look over Simons shoulder how he would use chatgpt and claude to solve a beginner or more experienced coding problem. ❤
When was this interview recorded ? He doesnt talk about Chat GPT o1-preview and mini which are actually better than Claude AI he mentioned. Why he never mentioned these new Chat GPT versions ? and only ChatGPT 4 ?
We recorded it in June, when they were not yet out. Took time to edit and get ready for the first episode. New tools come out all the time: o1 is so fresh it takes time to form an opinion on how best to use it, what are helpful and not-so-helpful use cases etc.
Is it just me ? or was Mr. Gergely cutting off(Interrupting) the flow of Simon Willison. I am so not coming at you with negativity, it's just something I observed. Like for example 27:35
Unfortunately that may be a necessity. I’ve always loved Simon, but he can speak infinitely because he’s immensely curious and remember a lot of peculiar details about topics he loves.
Would love to see a video of Simon Willison demoing his ai assisted coding workflow by working on a small project or open source thingy.

Thanks for the podcast!! Congrats on the 1st one. Great topic for the very first one.
So hyped for TPE on YT and Spotify!

28:45 So much work to learn this to become productive! I agree!
35:00 I totally forgot that was a thing, JS has come a long way since then 🤣

The natural language to sql is very cool, I had a similar wow moment when I got it to work
Thankyou so much for sharing such amazing information. Its incredible keep these podcasts coming!!

I usually read the newsletters but I really like this format!! Nice!

Simon grew hair a lot since I saw him last time.
Great interview, great guest!
Let the man speak!
interesting conversation, thank you both

I thought so as well. Something to be mindful of in future interviews. Great job aside from that. Looking forward to the next one.
@@Cryptalux Yep Definitely Good overall coverage and questions asked.
Yes, several of those instances unfortunately. He does get back to the point but there’s this hunger to add to the conversation.
15:43 They are both doing that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
