You started with insulting someone for using an LLM to write git commit messages, and in order to defend that statement you say that an LLM hasn't written a killer app by itself.

I am not really sure what to say except that if you are simply looking for a way to insult people, just admit you are a mean person and you won't have to justify in ways that make no sense. But if you really only hate LLMs, you can do that in ways that don't involve insulting people. But to be so full of disdain for a technology that it turns you irrational is something that should be a bit concerning.



Insulting, really? I merely made a statement about the nature of their work. That's not an insult. Please re-read and understand, before conflating. Also you fully misunderstood my comments about the LLMs. If I had disdain I would not have dished out thousands of USD for my team to use them. I am merely saying that they are not what the hype-makers would have you believe. Now show me that one killer app that someone successfully vibe-coded? All we see is theoretical bullshit, benchmarks etc. But no real-world a-ha moment.


You just felt like coming into a thread which was bound to be populated by people talking about using LLM for coding to let them know that their work isn't important because they use an LLM.

It seems to me the only reason someone would feel the need to do such a thing is to validate their own experience. If everyone else seems to be finding value in a tool, but you cannot, it must be because everyone else just isn't doing important things with it.

As I said earlier, I would be concerned about such behavior if I found myself doing it.
