As each new tool drops it makes me wonder if I should convert. Currently I mostly code in vs code or chat with Claude code but I don’t really mix the two even though I know I can with the Claude add on. My gf uses colab with Gemini and it seems rather spiffy for data science. And now antigravity. I just wonder when it will end and devtools will slow down their development cycle a bit.

Personally, I wonder if I should switch careers

LLMs do take a lot of the joy out of it.

[mrbungie]

I know what you mean, but LLMs are just a tool. Probably the joy is actually taken out by some form of pressure to use them even when it doesn't make sense, like commercial/leadership pressure.

Weird take. For me they let me focus on the things I want to be working on, instead of having to write repetitive boilerplate stuff, so it's the opposite. But also nobody is forcing you to use them.

To what, something regulated?

[TheRoque]

Idk, something that needs arms and legs, and still a bit technical.

Ironically, the further you get from a keyboard, the less money you get paid.

I'm wondering if I should move to a remote village.

I tried vscode with copilot again after a year of cursor.

It’s faster but the LLM aspect is unusable. The diffing is still slow as molasses and the chat is very slow also. LLM wise it’s a joke vs cursor. But it is less laggy (because cursor is basically vibe coded crapware that they release multiple bug fixes for per day for the errors they introduce into production on every single release)

> The diffing is still slow as molasses

I've seen a lot less of that the last couple of weeks. My understanding is that when the main model spits out a diff that somehow doesn't apply cleanly, a cheap model is invoked to 'intelligently' apply it. So it shouldn't normally happen.
