On the other hand, sometimes the hardest bugs are only a few lines of code and days of debugging. If an LLM can do it in a day, you've saved time.

but not necessarily costs

Time's expensive too.

on the other hand you spend time and tokens using the AI approach

[moffkalast]

It's like hiring someone to do part of your job for you, which is a rather proven approach to getting more done in less time. A proud tradition going back hundreds of thousands of years.

Except when you buy tokens instead of hiring someone, you buy Sam Altman a yacht instead of buying somebody dinner.

[moffkalast]

Yeah, though unfortunately paying anyone I know to fix my code sure isn't going to go nearly as well as asking Claude. Or at all.

A word of advice from an European: Tax the rich. Then you no longer have these problems. Even running a local model just shifts the yacht to Jensen Huang instead.
