Every time you post about this stuff you get at least as much pushback as you get affirmation, and yet when you discuss anything related to peer responses, you never seem to mention or include any of that negative feedback, only the positive...


I don't get it, what are you asking me to do here?

You want me to say "this stuff is really useful, here's why I think that. But lots of people on the internet have disagreed with me, here's links to their comments"?


you said

    I talk to extremely experienced programmers whose opinions I have valued for many years before the current LLM boom who are now flying with LLMs - I trust their aggregate judgement.
but every time i've seen you comment on this website or other similar websites on the topic of using LLMs for coding, at least half of the responses you get express precisely the opposite perspective -- that they are not flying with LLMs at all

so i think it is disingenuous to make claims like that without at least acknowledging the differences in experience which are pretty clearly demonstrated

this wouldn't be particularly worth mentioning, if it weren't for the fact that you comment extensively, prolifically, on agentic coding topics, on this website and many others, and your comments are generally effusively and uncritically positive, no matter what responses you get, over time, from anyone
