| One of the things they seem to have figured out is the requirement to at least model a sort of actor-critic architecture with their agents. It helps quite a bit. They seem to badmouth Aider a tad (not cool) but I do wonder how a full-stack of this + Aider might work? There needs to also be some sort of good test generator involved. All that said, any time someone actually demonstrates progress on the automated Software Engineer problem and it makes it to HN, I am deeply reminded of the old quote: "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it." Just read through this comments section and check out the pure copium. Yes, ChatGPT can do basic sysadmin tasks with ./configure and make. Yes it does make sense to work on this now, assuming LLMs will get better, because LLMs have continued to get better on any metric you can imagine. Finally, yes, AI devs will make landing pages and basic APIs. I didn't realize we were all hardcore world-class 0.01% programmers? I have certainly written a landing page and basic API before, in fact I do that sort of thing a lot more than I write uber1337 hax0r code. You probably do too! |
