> I do of course have to think about the prompts and break it down to a fine grained level This is where I’ve found usefulness falling off. Code is much more succinct and exact than English. I was never slowed down by how fast I could type (and maybe some are? I’ve watched people finger type and use the mouse excessively) but by how fast I could understand the existing systems. By the time I could write an expressive prompt in English I might as well have made the changes myself. I’ve found it enormously useful as google on steroids or as a translator (which many changes that require code often end up being). |

Depends on how you use English. If you describe all the details down to the last line of requirements — then, yeah. But actually, a lot of requirements are typical and can be compressed to things like "make a configuration page following this config type" and LLM will figure it out and put checkboxes for booleans, drop-downs for enums, and all the boilerplate that goes with them. Sometimes you have to correct this output, but it's still much faster than describing the whole thing.
